Hi Laya,

You don't need so much time to worry about CAT exam preparation for MBA at IIMs. Since MBA syllabus comprises of Quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning and Data Interpretation, and verbal ability, a thorough preparation of 6-8 months is sufficient. However, since there will be some hiccups in your preparation because of internal exams, semester exams, college fests etc. so to prepare well and be on safe side, you can start your preparation from B.tech. 3rd year and be thorough and well prepared for your CAT exam by your final year of B.Tech.

Good Luck

Hey nikhil! Thanks for contacting careers 360.

Congrats on getting good scores.

Earlier, the fms used to have a cutoff on the basis of it's own test. But now the fms cutoff is based on the cat score. The fms cutoff is used to shortlist candidates for group discussion and personal interviews before admission.

The fms cutoff score has increased to 99 Percentile score in the cat.

Wish you all the best! 

Hi Raj,

It won't create a problem as long as you have the original document to show at the time of final admission. All IIMs reserve a certain percentage of seats for NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PwD candidates. For more information on CAT selection procedure, visit - CAT selection process 2018

Good luck.

You just want the name of any private college of mba in Bengalore?

Hi Manish

The cutoffs across all the IIMs vary. For example the older and reputed IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta have  a very high cutoff -higher than the others. The newer IIMs have a lower cutoff. 

I would suggest you to take a look at the IIM Cutoff which gives the cutoff percentile for each IIM.

Possibility is high that you will get a call for the next rounds if you do manage to score 100 percentile. Chances will decrease exponentially as your score decreases provided your percentage in 12. The possibility of converting the call entirely depends on your performance in the subsequent rounds.

All the best!
