The Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most important component to get admission to any of the top MBA college. In order to get admission to business schools, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. However, scoring a mere percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call as many of the business schools have a very complex admission process.

MBA colleges give consideration to a lot of factors while giving an interview call. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. Having a one-year of work experience will get you some points allotted for work experience. However, your first priority should be to clear the overall and sectional percentile if mentioned by the college.

If you even score somewhere around 99 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. Therefore, CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the major criteria for admission.

The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI/ GDPI process and during your final selection. Therefore, you might have good chance to get admission in B-Schools subject to the condition that you must perform well in the CAT followed by the WATPI/ GDPI process.

Some of the best MBA colleges you can expect based on your CAT percentile will be IIMs, IITs, FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, DSE, TISS, SPJIMR, etc.
