Hii There,

To be eligible for the CAT 2024 exam, applicants need to meet the following criteria:

1. They should have successfully completed a bachelor's degree from a recognized university, with a minimum aggregate of 50 percent (or an equivalent CGPA). However, candidates belonging to the SC, ST, and PWD/DA categories should have a minimum aggregate of 45 percent.

2. Candidates who are in their final year of a bachelor's degree program or are awaiting their final results are also eligible to appear for the CAT 2024 exam.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks

Hi aspirant,

There are several reputable CAT coaching institutes in Mumbai. You can look into T.I.M.E., Career Launcher, IMS India, Elites Grid, Cracku and PW Live. These are some of the respected options, with knowledgeable teachers, high-quality content, and effective mocks. All of them are well known institutes having a successful track record in CAT coaching. However, I urge that you research the cost and offerings of each and every institute before enrolling.

All the best for your career in management!

Hi aspirant,

Based on your B.Com (Hons) degree, you did not make a mistake when you listed "Management" as your discipline on the CAT application form. Depending on your program, you most certainly studied various parts of management as part of your degree. As a result, "Management" is a relevant and reasonable discipline to discuss.

All the best!

Hi aspirant,

Both TIME and IMS are good options for CAT coaching in Kanpur. Nonetheless, TIME is generally regarded as slightly superior because of its high-quality materials, faculty reputation and AIMCAT test series, whilst IMS is well-known for its pleasant faculty and SIMCAT series. Both TIME and IMS offer great mocks. However, TIME mocks are thought to be more difficult than the real exam. IMS mocks, on the other hand, are almost an accurate representations of the actual exam. In terms of pricing, both need significant investment of around  50-60K. Thank you and all the best!

Hi aspirant,

When it comes to CAT coaching in Bangalore, TIME and IMS are well-established and popular options. BYJU'S has expanded its offerings to include CAT preparation and brings their technology-driven learning approach to the table, which can benefit some students, TIME is regarded as slightly superior due to its high-quality materials, faculty reputation, and AIMCAT test series, whereas IMS is well-known for its pleasant faculty and SIMCAT series. Both TIME and IMS provide excellent mocks. However, TIME mocks are believed to be more tough than the actual exam. In contrast, IMS mocks are nearly identical to the actual exam. Both TIME and IMS are renowned organizations. To make an informed choice, it is advised to visit their centers, speak with their counselors, and possibly take a demo class.

All the best!

Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to take the CAT (Common Admission Test) even if you have one semester with less than 50% in your engineering degree.

CAT eligibility typically requires a minimum aggregate percentage in your undergraduate degree. While a consistent performance throughout your degree is generally preferred, a single semester with a lower score is not necessarily a barrier.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Overall Aggregate: As long as your overall aggregate percentage meets the minimum requirement (usually around 60%), you should be eligible for CAT.
• University Regulations: Some universities may have specific rules regarding eligibility for CAT. It's advisable to check with your university's academic counseling office for any additional requirements.
• CAT Score: A good CAT score can compensate for a lower undergraduate percentage. Focus on preparing well for the CAT exam to increase your chances of admission.

Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the CAT exam despite having less than 50% in your undergraduate degree.

While many institutions and entrance exams have a minimum percentage requirement, the CAT eligibility criteria generally focus on the overall aggregate percentage. In most cases, a minimum aggregate of 50% is required, considering all semesters of your undergraduate degree.

Since you have a postgraduate degree with 79%, your overall aggregate percentage will likely meet the eligibility criteria for CAT.

Hi aspirant

Entering the incorrect graduation year is a mistake that must be corrected promptly. While you may still be able to apply to colleges by filling out the necessary paperwork, submitting inaccurate information on entrance exam applications may result in issues. Contacting the relevant exam authorities as soon as possible is critical for understanding the potential repercussions and exploring any feasible remedies.

All the best!
