Hello Aspirant ,

CAT , i.e, Common Admission Test is for admissions into IIMs. The basic eligibility criteria to write the exam is minimum 50% criteria in 10th and 12th. You have fulfilled the criteria for writing the exam , as for your past academics they are little low but you have an advantage with the fact that you're not an engineer. The cutoffs for non engineers to promote diversity among students will lead to lower cutoffs. Past academics are only one part of your selection criteria , the most weightage is given to CAT , GD-PI and the Interview. You also have reservation , hence there will be less cutoffs and a good shot at getting into premier schools. So definitely , CAT will be worth your time if you're interested in pursuing management.

Hope this helps you! Good luck!
