Hi,

CAT(Common Aptitude Test) is a all India entrance examination for getting admission in Post Graduation. two year course of MBA in some good management Institudes like IIMs,IEMs etc.

ELIGIBILITY FOR CAT

* Candidate who passed the following program or in final year of such program are eligible
Graduation in any discipline((B.Sc,B.A,B.Com),BE,B.TECH,BBA.

* There is no specific marks required in graduation for eligible in CAT.

* There is no age boundary for eligible in CAT.

* Candidate can attempt any number of time for CAT.

* CATscore is valid upto two year.Current year in which you are appearing for exam and next exam.

For being eligible in IIMs you need to have very good percentile in CAT but you need to clear GD and Interview also for getting admission in IIMs.

If you are unable to crack GD,interview you cannot get admission in IIMs.

All the best.....................

Common Admission Test is conducted to get admission for the Master of Business Administration and its equivelant courses which is offered in the Indian Institutes of Management.

In fact the Common Admission Test is conducted by Indian Institutes of Management under a rotation policy. There are number of colleges that also accepts the CAT score to offer admission.

This include both private college and government colleges. In government colleges, Indian Institutes of Technology and National Institutes of Technology are the most notable to accept the CAT score.

You have mentioned percentage scored in 10th, 12th and graduation. But for the Common Admission Test only the marks in graduation matters which I am afraid to say are not sufficient enough in your case to sit for the Common Admission Test.

40 percent marks in well below the required percentage for the Common Admission Test. Even if you belong to SC/ST still won't be able to appear for the test.


CAT Eligibility

1. You will have to complete graduation.

2. Even in final year you can apply.

3. Must have 50 percent marks in graduation.

4. SC/ST should have 45 percent marks.

5. While there is no relaxation for OBC.


As you can see from the eligibility criteria mentioned above, it won't be possible for you to apply for the Common Admission Test. Instead I would recommend you to appear for the Management Aptitude Test.

The Management Aptitude Test is conducted 4 times a year for Master of Business Administration course. There are number of colleges which accepts this entrance exam. Some of them are very good colleges.

Good thing here is that there is no marks criteria for the Management Aptitude Test. So you won't have any trouble applying for it. Alternatively you can also consider appearing for the MBA entrance exam in your state provided you have sufficient marks to appear for it. In states like Karnataka there is no marks criteria for MBA entrance exam (KMAT).

Dear There,

CAT stands for Common Admission Test. This is a prestigious exam conducted every year by Indian Institutes of Management (IIM). Candidates who qualify this test are eligible to pursue MBA course in IIM’s and top MBA colleges in India.
It’s nice you think about CAT examination but the minimum qualification needed to take CAT examination is Graduation. No matter what you have scored in 10th & 12th. You have to score higher marks in Graduation. There are some other qualifications needed for the examination. These are mentioned below:


Required qualifications for CAT examination are :

* Candidates with Bachelor’s in any stream from a recognized college / university.

* At least 50% marks is needed in Graduation if belongs to General / OBC category.

* SC/ST candidates have a relaxation of 5% marks in Graduation.

* There is no limit of attempting this examination.

* There is no age limit criteria have been set for this examination.

* Candidate should be an Indian Citizen.

So you have seen 50% marks is needed in Graduation to apply for the exam if you belong to General / OBC category and at least 45% marks is needed if you are a SC/ST candidate. In both the cases you are ineligible for this exam.

But don’t be sad you can attempt for MAT examination if you wish. No. of colleges provide admission on MAT exam results.

That’s it

Thanks.

RESPECTED SIR
