MBA Entrance Exam

Hello Saloni! With just 40 percentile, it is impossible to get even a decent college anywhere in India. I advise you reappear for CAT(and/or any other exam) and score high. Good luck!

Hello Monika! If you are an Open category student, then you cannot appear for the CAT exam as one needs to score at least 50% marks in his/her graduation.

Hello Aniket! Not at all. Only your past academic scores I.e. 10th, 12th and graduation(post graduation, if any) is considered during the admission processes of the various B-schools.

Hello! Having work experience(full-time) is important(though not mandatory) only during the admission processes of the various B-schools, and not while appearing for the CAT exam.

Hello Rahul! Irrespective of the post or job profile, if you had worked full-time in an organisation, only then that is counted as valid work experience. Internships are considered as part-time.

Anyone who has scored at least 50% marks in his/her graduation is eligible to appear for the CAT exam. If you're aiming for the old IIMs, 99+ percentile should be safe; 96+ for the new IIMs. All the best!

Hello Shruti,
If you want to take admission in a reputed B-School, then you must appear for one or the other entrance exam and clear the further interview rounds (if shortlisted for it). No good college admit candidates just on the basis of their graduation or the overall academic score.

Hello Ritik,
Apologies for replying late. The college officials haven't posted anything about the cut-offs of various exams for their admission processes.

Hello! The new IIMs are being continuously mentored by the old IIMs so there should be no doubt about the quality of education imparted over there. Within 6-7 years, many of these IIMs have shown significant improvement in terms of overall learning experience, infrastructure and placements. They also rank among the top 20-25 B-schools across India. The placements have been quite good; average package is around Rs 10-12 lakhs which is appreciable.

Hello Mayuri! As far as I know, yes you are eligible to appear for the CET exam next year irrespective of whether you have cancelled your admission in a particular college. That seat will automatically be vacated and be filled by someone else.
