Hi Ajay
Yes, of course they do. There is no such guideline which mentions that open school students are not eligible for the CAT exam or entry into IIM. You just need to have a valid CBSE/ICSE/IB level class 12th marksheet with you while applying for the CAT exam. Hope this helps !

Ajay, there is no fixed norm that you should complete your schooling and College from Regular mode. To be eligible for CAT, you should have completed your Graduation in any discipline and secured a minimum aggregate of 50%. It is 50% for General Category and 45% for Reserved Categories. Now regarding IIMs, each IIM has separate criteria and we have 20 IIMs. IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. But Open Schools are accepted.
