Hello,

You need more than 35% to be eligible for MBA, and you check eligiblity criteria on our website.

Good luck!!

Both are hell and heaven apart. IIM calcutta is one of the top colleges of not only India but Asia Pacific while another is a name hardly few would have heard of!

You need to be a graduate in any stream with atleast 50% marks or equivalent in graduation to be eligible for CAT. Hope this answers your querry.

All the best!

It depends on the various aspect of your academic career mainly 
1) 10th 
2) 12th 
3) Bachelor's degree

For IIMA 

If you have 80+ percentage in 10th , 12th and bachelors , then around 99.5+ percentile is a decent CAT score to get a call . But if you are lagging in any one of the three aspect , then you certainly need to score around 99.8+ score to get a call .

For IIMB

In addition to a decent CAT score like 99.5+ , you need to make sure you have 80+ percentage in your 10th , 12th and bachelors . If you are lagging in any of these three then there is hardly any chance for you to get a call untill  you had a good work experience to compensate it .

For IIMC

They don't give a shit to your bachelor's degree . Just score 99.5+ and have 80+ in 10th and 12th thats it . and If you ar a girl you have an added advantage .

For rest IIM , the criteria is similar but you still need 99+ score to get a call from old IIM

Hi Chubarenla,

It is compulsory to appear for CAT and qualify the cutoff to join IIM Calcutta. Unfortunately you can not apply for admission in IIM Calcutta if you have not appeared for CAT this year, but you must try next year.

Whoa!!! Well I think you should should buy a SIM CARD and go for IIN :P

Jokes apart... You cannot crack by gobbling down anything - neither maths not vocab... Having a good/great vocab is just an enabler, hardly 1-2 direct questions based on vocab in CAT

CAT and GMAT are acronyms forCommon Admission TestandGraduate Management Aptitude Testrespectively. Now choosing one among these is definitely the matter of your choice. Both of them have excellent attributes individually and far more standardized than any other management tests. To make your choices simpler lets distinguish between them,GMAT vs CAT.

CAT-If you are an Indian resident, Then this is every management students dream to crack this examination and get into IIMs. If not IIM, many other prestigious colleges accept the CAT score as well. You will get good exposure and have a brand name of IIM attached to your resume. This is valid for a year.

GMAT-This is a foreign fantasy of every individual. Wish to study in a foreign land as well have the benefits of studying in a good college, then GMAT is for you. It has more money, more experience and more fun to be honest. This is valid for 5 years.

No matter how dreamy GMAT might seem, most of the students aim for CAT mainly because of these two reasons:

Too far from their hometown, you might have more than boundaries and seas separately you from your motherland.

Obviously Expensive, Unless you manage to get a scholarship.

If you got a lot of potential backed by a good amount of money as well as ready to explore beyond your country then GMAT can be your choice. If you are really determined then you can go for fellowship options as well.

On the other hand, CAT gives you amazing opportunities and you might not have a foreign country experience but you can groom your skills for much less money from an esteemed college.

Apart from these,

If you meet with any kind of unfortunate incident on the day of the examination then you lose your chance to give the CAT exam but GMAT acts as a savior in such unpredictable circumstances. GMAT can be given 5 times a year wheres CAT can be given only once a year.

The application form for GMAT is higher than that of CAT.

CAT and GMAT are like the two sides of the coin, equally prestigious with different aspects.GMAT is expensive no doubt but it is totally worth it if you got the right attitude and determination. Plus there is an advantage of being dedicated because money acts as a motivational factor.

Consider the factors and your ambitions before choosing because no matter what you choose, It is a life-altering decision.

Hi Sumit,

IIMC offers one year PG diploma and few short duration certificates courses. So, after 10+2 you are not eligible for IIMC so better its better for you go with any three year undergraduate course in mass communication from any reputed institute.
