The first and obvious advantage is that you stand a chance to get admission into IIMs.The other advantages is the improvement in one's intelligence and knowledge.Your language skills,mathematical ability and logical skills improve when you prepare for CAT.And CAT is not only limited to IIMs.Several other Management institutes use it for their admission process.

Hey Khushi!

If you have a dream to do MBA and that too form topmost B-schools of India like IIMABCKL. Then, the only way to enter it is through CAT. Whereas, you can also enter other top ten B-schools through exams like XAT, MAT, IIFT and TISSNET. If, you have an interest in International Business, then go for IIFT. If, HR, then don't forget to give TISSNET. And, best wishes in case you are giving CAT.

Want to get into the top Bschools of the country the so called IIMs??

Well cat is the way forward...

Apart from 20 IIMs Cat score is accepted widely by alot of other colleges so just in case you miss the IIMs you can have wider options with your score.

And guess what while preparing for Cat you won't need to pay alot of attention to specially prepare for Banking exams like PO.

So get going start preparing for Cat.

All the best.
