Hi aspirant,

In order to obtain a seat in Great lakes chennai, a candidate must have a score of at least 85 and above in CAT. Admission process not only depends upon the CAT score but also the post academic performances also. The placement oppurtunities are very good but the fee structure is quite high.  the college prefers students with past working experiences also.

Hope this helps
