Here you can have a look

Eligibility Criteria



Candidates must read theeligibility criteriabefore applying for CAT 2018:



Qualifying Exam:Applicants must hold the Bachelor Degree in any discipline from a recognized institution.

Minimum Marks:Aspirants have to score minimum50% marksin aggregate (45% marks for SC/ST and PwD candidates).

Appearing Candidates:Applicants those who are appearing in final year examination can also apply.

CS/CA/ICWA candidates are also eligible to apply.



So it is a daunting task ahead as you can see here if you are from general category you need to score atleast 50%.  The chances of getting a good college after scoring good percentile are not so bright.

Nevertheless don't loose hope and keep working towards your goal. You will get a success.

Cheers !!

A criteria for a student to be eligible for appearing in CAT exam is that a student should have above 50% in 10th 12th and graduation all the three for General category and 45% in SC/ST category.



So in your case if you are a general/OBC category student then with your degree percentage below 50% will not be eligible for CAT exam.



Instead of CAT exam you can give XAT exam which does not have any academic boundations like the CAT exam.



But still I will like to tell you that most of the colleges have the same eligibility criteria of having more than 50%. So it's going to be very difficult for you to find a very good college even after scoring very high percentile. And the colleges you might get will not be worth for pursuing your MBA degree.



So please I strongly recommend to rethink about your career decision.



All the best!!
