If I crak the CAT exam in 2018, is it possible to take admission in IIM in 2021? Or I have to give CAT exam again in 2021?
Well it is not possible to join two year later. However, in the coming few years this option will be available to the students wherein CAT scores will be valid for 2 years and one can join in any of those years.
As of now, GMAT provides this option. If you wish to study abroad after two years, you can appear for GMAT.
ALL The best!!
Hello Sujay Barman,
CAT exam is conducted by IIM every year for entry into IIMs.
CAT exam score is valid only for one particular year like the recent CAT 2018 where the score is only valid for MBA 2019-21 batch .
Every year different IIM conducts CAT Exam.
It is not possible to take admission in MBA 2021 with CAT 18 Scores.
Hope it clears your doubt.
feel free tocomment for more queries.
All the best for future endeavours!!
Hi, sujay,
Every entrance exam has a validity time. Some exams have a validity of 5 years some may have just 1 year.
To get into IIMs you need to give CAT and the validity is just 1 year.
So the answer to your question is no, If you give CAT in2018, you need to take admission now and the scores will not be valid in 2021. You have to give it again in 2021.
All the best.
