CAT

Hi,
Common Admission Test (CAT) is national-level management entrance examination conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM). Apart from 20 IIMs, CAT scores are used for admission to various management institutes across the country.
CAT 2017 is scheduled to be held on November 26, 2017.

Hi,
With your percentile, you will not be able to calculate your score. You can check your score on your CAT score card itself.

If you want to take admission in Maharashtra then appear for MH-CET. Apart from that, give CMAT exam so that you can apply to various Institute through all India quota seats.

These are the B-Schools that accept CAT scores between 70 and 80 percentile.

Hi Rameshwari,
The fee is Rs 20,000 and it will come down to about Rs 2-3 lakhs including all other expenses.
To score high, do what suits you the best. Make it a point to give mock tests regularly and analyze the paper for correcting your mistakes.

Hello Abhay,
There is no need to take a year's drop to solely prepare for the CAT exam as it takes around 6-months of diligent preparation to clear CAT. There are still some exams left like CMAT, CET and MAT through which you can get into some reputed B-Schools. However, if your aim is to get admitted into an IIM or a top non-IIM, then only I would advise to take a drop and prepare for CAT. Though you can give the aforementioned exams if you wish. All the best!

Getting a job completely depends on candidate's skills and abilities. If you join any reputed B-School like IIMs or ISB, then you may get international placements and good career opportunities.

Good afternoon!!
To pursue MBA, a minimum of 50% is required. Other requirements vary from institute to institute.
Thanks and all the best.
