I have scored 45% in my 12th(sci) from CBSE can these marks could be a huddle in my path to get a Mba college through CAT OR GMAT?
Hello Aspirant,
It seems like you are curious about your marks that you've scored. It's quite obvious to be worried about your marks and it's relevance in your future studies ahead. Let's first know about the eligibility criterias of MBA and GMAT. Both the exams require sufficient skill and understanding. Refer to the link below to know how much percentage is required to get into an MBA program of your choice.

Whether marks act as a hurdle or not depends highly upon your attitude towards them. Marks are an integral element to get into colleges as a criteria of selection but otherwise, it cannot practically stop your dreams. You may or may not get into a highly acclaimed institution but getting into one doesn't assure success either. Keep working hard and always give you best, self contentment is the main deal. Good luck!
Dear Moulik,
CAT and GMAT are highly competitive exams.
Apart from the CAT or GMAT scores, to be eligible for even shortlisting (first shortlisting is done, then interviews then final calls), the colleges take academic performance & work experience very seriously.
One of my friends had 99.78%ile in CAT 2018. Academically he was decent securing 77% in 12th(SCI), still, he was not shortlisted by IIM-A & B.
But, apart from CAT and GMAT you still have other exams like IIFT, SNAP, NMAT, and XAT which gives you a call based solely on respective exams score. You just need to clear the cutoffs and you will be called for interview. From there onwards it will be your responsibility to tackle the panels when you will be asked on low academics.
Just continue with your preparations to get a good score in exams. Good luck!
