CAT
Notification: The CAT has only two
sections. The first section is Quantitative
Ability & Data Interpretation; the second section is Verbal Ability &
Logical Reasoning. The examination is of 170 minutes with no sectional time limits. In August 2011, it was
announced that Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian
Institute of Science (IISc) would also use the CAT scores, instead of
the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET), to select students for
their management programmes from 2012-14 year
The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) started
this exam and use the test for selecting students for their business
administration programs. The test is conducted every year by one of the IIM's
based on a policy of rotation. In 2014, CAT Exam was a 170-minute test
consisting of 100 questions (50 from quantitative ability & data
interpretation and 50 from verbal ability & logical reasoning).
The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45%
in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe
(ST) and Differently Abled (DA) (It may also referred to as Persons with
Disability (PWD) category)], awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by
an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational
institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a
University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent
qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.
The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the
bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the
university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree.
In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage
of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/
institution from where they have obtained the bachelor’s degree.
In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme
for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established
by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying
the result with 100.
Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor’s
degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree
requirements and are awaiting results can also apply.
IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the
selection process, the details of which are provided at the website www.cat.ac.in
Applicants should note that the mere fulfillment of minimum
eligibility criteria will not ensure consideration for short listing by IIMs.
