CAT Scores

IIM-A Eligibility. The candidate must hold a Bachelor's degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA. In case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) category, this is relaxed to 45%.

CAT is accepted only by Indian colleges. If you want to go abroad for higher studies then I suggest that you should take IELTS or TOEFL.

Hi Hina,
As far I know, IIM doesn't give any scholarship for any student. But you can arrange any private funded/sponsored scholarship on the basis of your CAT and graduation score. Bank can provide you the loan at cheaper rates if your marks make them satisfied. Hence, you just need to focus to score best marks in CAT and other entrance exams.
Ask any query at anytime.
Good wishes dear.

70 percentile is the cutoff score to be considered in most of the IIMs. I would suggest you to try harder to score more than 70 percentile because the colleges you would get with 70 percentile does not have good ROI.

It hardly matters. 99 percentile in CAT exam is needed to get admission in IIMs.

Good morning!!
To get admission in a good Institute you must score a minimum of 80 percentile in CAT.
The higher the better.

Hello,
Yes, SIMSREE accepts scores of the CAT exam. Since the exam is of All India level and the total number of seats in SIMSREE are less, the cut-off is very high i.e. around 99.96+ percentile.

CAT has minus marking scheme. The marking scheme for CAT 2016 had 3 marks for every correct answer and 1 mark deducted from candidates credit score for every wrong answer. The exception is non-MCQs where candidate's wrong answers are not imposed with the penalty of negative marking.

No they have their internal examination but they also take admission through CAT and MAT.

Hi Karthik,
You need 98.7 percentile for a shortlist and 99.6+ for a chance in final admission.
For now, concentrate on CAT score and your communication skills.
