Hello aspirant,

According to the official eligibility notification, in order to be qualified for CAT, candidates must have graduated from an accredited university. However, individuals who have finished the degree requirements and are awaiting results, as well as those who are in their last year of a bachelor's degree or comparable qualification exam, may also apply.

If you fulfill this eligibility criteria then you can apply for CAT exam.

Thank you

Hello aspirant,

The only on-screen calculator that CAT permits use is a simple one. It is not permitted for you to bring the actual calculator into the center. This approach is predicated on the idea that the CAT assesses an individual's aptitude for solving challenging mathematical puzzles and making fast mental computations.

Thank you

A CAT percentile of 90 or above can strengthen your application to MICA, it is not the only factor that determines admission.MICA considers scores of CAT and MICAT which are weighted 50–50 percent for the interview call.

Strong performance in the Pshycometric test and descriptive writing increase your chances to get into mica even if you score 80 percentile.the admission is based upon whole performance including every marks.

ALL the best!!!!


Hello aspirant,

A timetable is essential if you are preparing for the CAT in addition to your college coursework. It will give you an idea of how long it will take you to finish your syllabus and then set aside the appropriate amount of time for revision and mock exams. Without a set timetable, you risk taking your time and not completing your preparation as thoroughly as is necessary.

Thank you

Hope it helps you.

Hello Nikita,

To get into any of the top IIMs, such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Kozhikode, or Indore, a good percentile in CAT is required, although academics play a vital role too. Let's break it down below:

CAT Score: 98+ percentile is an excellent score and makes one competitive.

Academic Scores:

Your 10th score at 84% is quite good.

A 12th score of 65% is on the lower side, which might hamper your chances at some of the top IIMs since they give weightage to past academic performance.

IIM Selection Criteria:

Every IIM has its own weightage for the scores of academics, CAT percentile, work experience, if any, and diversity.

For example, IIM Ahmedabad requires consistent academic records, while IIM Bangalore puts the strongest focus on work experience and diversified profiles.

Graduation: You are currently pursuing graduation, and your performance during that will also be considered in the shortlisting process.

While your CAT score is going to be the major pointer, your academic record-doing in class 12-is going to affect your prospects a bit at IIMs that place significant emphasis on your past performance. Still, you will have a healthy shot, at least at institutes like Lucknow, Kozhikode, and Indore, where a good score in CAT may offset lower marks in academics.

If you have diverse profiled extracurricular activities, leadership roles etc, or work experience, then it can build up your application further.
