Well, the criteria is any graduate with 50% marks in their graduation. Your subject is English. So, it will definitely help you for preparation and during the course also as it is completely a English language course. So, go ahead, prepare and crack the CAT exam. Best of luck.

Admission in MBA are based on your CAT merit score & one completion of graduation with minimum 50% marks. Generally, students appear for CAT during their final year of graduation so that they don't have to waste a year & directly after graduation they get admission in MBA.

IIM Calcutta has only mentioned accepting GMAT score for admission into EMBA courses.

However, CAT is commonly accepted by other similar institutes for both MBA and MBAEx courses. Thus, candidates are advised to ask admission desk for confirmation on this question.

Is a score of 85% in CAT enough to secure MBA admission at IIM Calcutta?

Saurabh Khanduri

It is not possible to determine a candidate's admission in IIM Calcutta MBA course through CAT score alone. In Stage 1, a score 85% in CAT will be enough for a general category candidate to be selected for PI+WAT admission stage.

Final admission cutoffs are based on many factors other than CAT score.
