Be it not for the exams, every second applicant would have been admitted which will lead to poor quality education. Imagine a class of around 10,000 students. Selection criteria and shortlisting is important to maintain education standards which in turn will lead to better career outcomes of the students. It also builds the credibility of the university in the market (that they admit good students and produce brilliance).

Hi Vinodh, for top universities across the world you should target a GMAT score of more than 700. The average GMAT is around 680. This is true for UK as well as US, Canada, Singapore, etc.

Hi Vinodh,
500 is considered to be a very less GMAT score, so there won't be any top colleges which could be interested to admit you, unless you have a very extraordinary profile such as awards, achievements, extra-curricular, etc.
What are you planning to study? I will advise you to refer to some ranking charts like QS and know the university ranking. You can visit the university websites for specific requirements.

Hi Pushkar,
If you are planning for MBA, you need to have work experience. Backlogs are not recommended for any top ranked B-School such as HEC but if your overall profile is outstanding then such failures can easily be surpassed. Please mention what you want to pursue.

CAT is for primarily Indian B-school and GMAT is for India as well as overseas. The main difference is that the CAT score is one of the mandatory requirement to study in Indian top B-schools like IIMs. However, if you are planning to study abroad, the GMAT score is required.
Both the tests have different exam format, score validity, fees, etc. GMAT is one of the toughest exams and by far more competitive than CAT as it adds a global perspective. The verbal section, integrated and critical reasoning sections in GMAT are tougher. You can also appear for GMAT up to five times in a year. However, CAT can be taken only once a year.

IIM A admits through CAT exam only for Indians. Cut-off score is the minimum requirement to be considered for further scrutiny and does not guarantee a call or admit.
