The Common Admission Test (CAT) is the most important component to get admission in any of the elite MBA college. In order to get admission, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. However, even scoring a high percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call subject to the condition that you belong to the reserved category or diversified academic background.

MBA colleges give consideration to a number 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. Your first priority should be to clear both the overall and sectional percentile.

If you obtain more than 85 percentile in the CAT (assuming you are a general category candidate), there is a good chance that you will get a GDPI shortlist from some of the good colleges. However, even if you score 99 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. Therefore, the 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, your work experience, academic, and gender diversity will play a major role in getting a shortlist for the WATPI process and during your final selection.
