CAT stands for Common Admission Test and this exam is conducted by the Indian Institute of Management. You can sit for this exam if you are seeking admission to the Post-graduate and Fellow Programs in management courses of several management institutes all over India. This year CAT exam is going to be conducted between Oct 16 - Nov 11, 2013. They are using a 3-4 weeks window during this time to conduct the exam in multiple cities. Depending on the availability of the date and time you have to choose the one best suited for you. As mentioned earlier that the eligibility criteria remains unchanged for you which means that to give this exam firstly you need to be a graduate in any discipline from a recognized university. Along with that you also need to ensure at least 50% of marks at graduation level. There is some relaxation for the SC/ST candidates and they will get 5% relaxation. So they needs to secure 45% of marks in aggregate instead. A final year student can also appear for this examination. While it is important to score good percentile in the CAT written exam but a lot of institutes apart from the CAT score gives importance to some other parameter too like academic performance, work experience, group discussion, written assessment and interview performance etc. For the CAT exam you have to give special importance to the following areas:-

Re: Percentage needed by Engineering Graduates to appear for CAT? The percentage criteria for the Common Admission Test remains the same regardless of your graduation degree. Which means that even for Engineering graduates, the criteria is same as for Commerce graduates or the Arts graduates. The Common Admission Test is conducted by Indian Institutes of Management some time in October and November. The exam is conducted in 20 days window throughout these two months. Common Admission Test is popular because of IIMs however there are plenty of other institutes that also offer admission through the Common Admission Test. Since its quite a competitive entrance exam, a good score could also benefit while applying for the job. You should have completed graduation to apply for it.

The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) (It may also referred to as Persons with Disability (PWD) category)], awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor’s degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100. Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. If selected, such candidates will be allowed to join the programme provisionally, only if he/she submits a certificate latest by June 30, 2013 from the Principal/Registrar of his/her College/Institute (issued on or before June 30, 2013) stating that the candidate has completed all the requirements for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification on the date of the issue of the certificate. IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided at the website www.catiim.in. Applicants should note that the mere fulfillment of minimum eligibility criteria will not ensure consideration for shortlisting by IIMs. Prospective candidates must maintain a valid and unique email account and a phone number throughout the selection process. Reservations As per the Government of India requirements, 15% of the seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) and 7½% for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates. 27% of seats are reserved for Other Backward Classes candidates belonging to the “non-creamy” layer (NC-OBC).

The candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved need to note and read the eligibility requirements carefully before applying.
