I am in the final year of my Bachelor's degree. Am I eligible to take the CAT exam?

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the exam provided your score in the first two years of the degree course is above 50 per cent aggregate (or equivalent). In case you belong to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Person with Disability categories, the minimum aggregate should be 45 per cent. Candidates planning to pursue MBA must make sure that they score minimum of 50 per cent in aggregate in every year of their Bachelor's degree programme, so that overall average too is 50 per cent. Those, in the final year of graduation must take care that if they do not have a minimum of 50 per cent in first two years, they need to score much higher in the final year so that their overall score meets the minimum requirement. To have a better chance of being selected by the Iims, candidates must aim for high scores in graduation and not just 50 per cent as academic record is a significant contributor in shortlisting of candidates for admission.
