I have 82% in 10th 65% in 12 th and 49.9% in UG, 68% PG, i am also General , Can i apply the CAT?
Recently FMS has changed its weightage criteria. Earlier it used to give 85% weightage to CAT marks, 10% to interview and 5% to extempore so scoring very high percentile with an average interview and extempore performance used to fix your dears
But now it gives 60% weightage to CAT marks, 5% extempore, 15% Interview, 10% GD, 5% 10th class and 5% 12th class. Seeing that you have an average academic record so your score in that 10 % will be a little low in comparison to other student performance.
Hope you understand,
Thank you
