CAT stands for Common Admission Test .

This examination is Conducted by IIM's Every year for admission in IIM and top level MBA college .

Those candidate have completed graduation degree with above 50% marks are applicable for CAT exam but your degree must be recognized.

Sorry dear , Marks relaxation is provide only for SC and ST category .You can try for MAT entrance exam .

If you are from graduation degree in final year then you are applicable for CAT Exam .

Selection Process for CAT exam are Written exam , Group Discussion , personal Interview.

The syllabus of CAT consists of :-

2.Quantitative Aptitude.
3.Logical Reasoning.
4.Verbal Ability.

I have listed here some valuable books name which are really helpful for you -

4. Servash Verma - Quantum CAT

Common Admission Test is conducted for MBA admission. The primary goal of candidates is to take admission for the Indian Institutes of Management that are considered as the best business schools in the country.

The Master of Business Administration is 2 years post graduation course that can be pursued in various streams such as:

Finance

Banking

IT

Economics

Aviation

Hotel Management

Retail Management

Marketing

Human Resources

The requirement for the Common Admission Test as you rightly pointed out is 50 percent. Unfortunately there is no relaxation for the Other Backward Classes. Only the SC and ST are eligible for 5 percent relaxation.

Which means that if you failed to score 50 percent, you can't appear for the Common Admission Test. Therefore you should work hard to get those extra 4 percentage.

But if you still failed to do so, then you must consider appearing for other entrance exams. For example Management Aptitude Test. There is no percentage criteria for MAT therefore no matter how much you have scored in graduation you can always appear for the MAT. It is conducted 4 times a year.

Full form of CAT is Common Admission Test and this exam is conducted by the IIM in turns. For admission to the Post-graduate and Fellow Programs in management courses of several management institutes all over India this exam can be given.

The selection procedure for this exam usually consists of Written Examination, Personal Interview and Group Discussion round. Apart from CAT scores weightage is also given to academic performance, work experience, group discussion, written assessment and interview performance.

Exam Pattern:-

1. Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation- 1 hr. 10 mins (70 mins)- 30 Questions
2. Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning- 1 hr. 10 mins (70 mins)- 30 Questions

In order to sit for the CAT exam you have to have a graduate degree in any discipline of your choice. Not only that you also need to secure 50% of marks at graduation level and this is the main prerequisite which needs to be satisfied by one and all.

There is relaxation available but only for the SC/ST candidates and PWD candidates. So the relaxation that you are hoping for is not available for the OBC candidates. For the rest of the category 50% of marks is the criteria.

Please Note:- Now the marks secured by you is the aggregate marks of two year. You have just appeared for the third year and the result is yet to come out. So if your third year marks in anyway is capable of bridging that 4% marks gap then you will be definitely eligible to sit for the CAT examination.

Hope this helps :-> :->
