MBA Entrance Exam

Sorry to say, but it's going to be very difficult for you to get admission into a good B-School as they need minimum of 50% marks in graduation. However, there are certain B-schools like FMS and XLRI which do not give too much importance to the academic scores. So, you have some chances there. Nevertheless, you will be definitely questioned for such a low graduation score during the interviews and placements later on.

CML- Common Merit List
Common Merit List (CML) is prepared without any relaxed criteria such that the number of candidates in the merit list is equal to the total number of seats available. The aggregate marks scored by the last candidate in the CML will be the CML cut-off score (CCS).

Hello,
You have to be an appearing graduate which is the basic requirement and after that, once the form comes out then you can apply for CAT 2017. At the time of filling CAT form, you can also pick IIMs where you want your score to be send after the results.
Best wishes.

Yes, definitely. You have a good percentile and you can get a better college than this.

Yes, the chances are good but you need to apply without any delay.

To score well in CAT, you must focus on your strong subjects. You in need to practice the full length tests to complete you strong topics in time with high efficiency. Regular practice with timely revisions will definitely help you to get good score in CAT.

Admissions would be conducted by DTE for the next academic year. Under that CAT would be considered for All India Seats. The cutoff for the same is usually around 99.99 percentile.

Yes, you are eligible for CAT, though your class 10th & 12th score will pose a problem in every college as most of the colleges including IIMs are now making profile based calls.
