Hello,

The students who want to write CAT should have completed graduation with the minimum percentage of marks and the minimum percentage of marks required to be eligible for CAT is at least 50% or equivalent CGPA for general, EWS and NC-OBC categories. Candidates belonging to reserved category (Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Persons with Disability (PWD) categories) must have an aggregate of 45% or equivalent CGPA. Candidates in final year are also eligible to give CAT provided they have minimum percentage of marks. Candidates who have completed a professional degree (CS/CA/ICWA) with required percentage are also eligible. Please click the below link to know more.
