I am afraid but it is not possible for you to give CAT exam because the minimum percentage required to give this exam is 50% at graduation level. You are approximately 2% short. But there is nothing to worry about it. If pursuing MBA is your main aim then you can also sit for various other MBA entrance exams and get the degree from one of the reputed institution in India. There are exams for which the percentage does not really matters. MAT exam is one of them.

Dear Friend,

Sorry to say , but you are not eligible for CAT because of the following reason:

* The minimum eligibility criteria in terms of educational qualification required is you must have got a minimum of 50% in your graduation and as you have mentioned that you have only 48% marks in graduation , then its quite impossible for you to be eligible.

This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding yor query. Hope the information will help you to the extent you want.
