How do we find our aggregate marks in a Bachelor's degree for CAT form filling? In my mark sheet, I have a column named CWAM - Cumulative Weighted Average Marks. Which one I am going to use while applying CAT, Aggregate marks, or CWAM? If Aggregate Marks then what is the procedure to find Aggregate marks?

The first thing I would like to let you know that, for appearing in CAT (Common Admission Test) the minimum education required is a graduation degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks (or equivalent grade) in aggregate from a recognised university. Marks relaxation of 5% is allowed in case of candidates from SC/ST and PH category.

Now, as your university use grading system for evaluation then there must be a formula that is used by your university for converting your grade to equivalent percentage of marks so that a candidate can use it where the requirement is in percentage of marks. So, you need to contact to your college/university management in order to know the conversion formula and therefore to know your eligibility for appearing in CAT on the basis of your aggregate marks.

For more details regarding CAT eligibility, you can refer to the link www.iimcat.ac.in.
