All 21 IIMs, including IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, and others, accept CAT scores for admission. Apart from this, over 1400 B-Schools in India accept CAT scores including some of the Top MBA colleges in India such as FMS, SPJIMR, IIFT, JBIMS, MDI, TISS and IITs.
How much percentile do I need to get into IIM?
CAT cut-offs for IIMs vary each year depending on category and academic profile. If you fall under the general category, you need a CAT percentile of 99 and above to get into a top IIM (such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, or Calcutta). For other IIMs, you will need a percentile within the range of 94 to 97. However, the required specific percentile can vary based on the B-colleges, the candidate's category (general, OBC, SC, ST, etc.), and their academic and work experience background.
How can I prepare for the CAT exam?
Before starting CAT preparation, being aware of the CAT syllabus is essential. You will gain greater accuracy in less time with good conceptual clarity. Once you have mastered the basics, you can solve practice exercises and mock tests for each topic and chapter. Analyse the mock exams to understand your progress and further plan to prepare for the real exam.
