CAT

Hello! Since the IIMs consider the overall profile of the candidates before shortlisting them for the interview rounds, the CAT score alone won't be given much importance. For the old IIMs, a score of 99+ percentile should be sufficient to get a call. And, for the new ones, 95+ percentile should suffice. All the best.

Hello! Just like any other MBA entrance exam, CAT has its test centers across India. Kindly visit this link for more details. https://iimcat.ac.in/per/g01/pub/756/ASM/WebPortal/1/index.html?756@1@1#!

Hi Aniket,For XLRI, you don't have to worry much about your academic scores. Focus completely on acing your XAT exam and you will stand a great chance to get admission in XLRI. However, IIMS do consider academic background, so it will be quite tough to get into the top IIMS even if you ace the CAT exam.

Hi Vishvesh,
Preparing for CAT is not that easy. You need to dedicated work hard and smart for it. As you have mentioned that you are a little weak in English, I suggest you to work on it more and on the other sections you should master such that it would cover up for the loss in English. One would not be able to define in terms of months or weeks. You need to consistently work on it. For some Just 5 to 6 hours of genuine study is enough whereas for some even 15 hours are not enough. So you according to your caliber decide and start working on it from now on. Good Luck Mate.

Hi Sail,

Hi Oviya,
To get through any IIM, you need to appear for CAT. Only if you score distinctively high i.e. around 96 percentile (depends on year on year) you might stand a chance to get a call from them. Aim to score 98-99 percentile. Also, they would check your academics throughout and you need to meet up to their criteria to get through the interview and GD rounds. Start studying hard and smart and appear as many Mocks as you can. Also refer to various authors and apply for test series at different places. As they say the more, the merrier. Good Luck Mate.
