There is no specific eligibility criteria per se. You need to score more than 95 percentile in CAT. And based on your grades in your 10th, 12th and Graduation and the streams you have chosen, you will be rated on a scale. And the points are calculated accordingly. For example, if you sore 60% in your 10th, you will be awarded 5 points. If you score 80%, you will be awarded more points. It is the same with even 12th and Graduation. The total marks are calculated and based on your Category, you will have a cut off to clear and Candidates are shortlisted based on that.
