CAT Scores

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.

You must target to score at least 97 percentile to get calls from newer IIMs or top B-Schools like MDI, XLRI, XIMB and S. P. Jain. As you have a good academic profile, you can surely expect few more good B-Schools call.

Dear candidate,
Part-time admission cut-off is not disclosed by the institute.

Hi Shameem,
No, the nature of both the exam is quite different. There is a totally different approach and strategy needed for these two examinations. The standard of CAT is any day higher than and Bank PO/SSC examination. So, the bank coaching will not be able to fetch you higher percentile in CAT, at max just clearing your basics.

Most of the colleges have eliminated the GD process and replaced it with WAT(Written Ability Test) which is more of a test of your thought formation and english writing skill and not just about having the highest voice in a fish-market. But PI still remains the most integral part of the process. Hence if you feel that you are not confident enough in English, I would suggest you work hard towards it and if required join a coaching center for the same and overcome your hurdle.
