    Min Educational Qualification for appearing in CAT is graduation with 50% marks. This marks criterion is relaxed to 45% for reserved candidates. You can appear for MAT conducted by AIMA where there is no criteria of min marks at the level of graduation. You can also do MBA in some private universities where selection criterion are less stringent.

With a 300 SC category rank in CAT, your chances for NIT Trichy MBA are relatively high. Based on 2025 data, NIT Trichy generally shortlists SC candidates with CAT percentiles around 60-65. To achieve a 300 rank under SC category, you would need about a 65-70 percentile, or a score of roughly 60-65 marks out of 198 in CAT 2025, depending on difficulty and normalization process. Final selection is also based on interview, academics, and work experience. Yes, you are fairly within touch, but I would encourage you to have a solid overall profile as well to increase your chances of admission.
