    Hi Akshat, Yes, you are eligible. Here is the eligibility criterion for this year:
    According to CAT 2018 eligibility, a candidate is eligible to appear in CAT 2018, if he/she holds Bachelors Degree with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA. The candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Able (DA) categories need only 45% marks.

    Yes, you are eligible for it, only thing is you won't be able to apply for B schools whose criteria is 50% and up in graduations.

    You are eligible for CAT, but cannot get through the 50 percent requirement by the business schools.

    I don't think so any top universities takes you because bitter truth is that you have less percentage.

    You can appear for CAT, but you will not get a call from any good B-School as they require at least 50% marks in graduation.

    It depends on your category or caste, I mean if you are from the general category then you need a minimum of 50% in your graduation to be eligible for CAT because CAT is based on graduation percentage.

    If you belong to the open category, then not possible. A general category student needs to score 50% in UG. 45% is the criteria for SC/ST/DA/PWD.

    You are eligible only if you are either SC or ST. Otherwise, for general category, students the minimum percentage requirement in graduation is 50%.

At GIBS, they keep the entrance exam part really simple. For PGDM or MBA, they accept almost all the common exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, and GMAT. Even state-level or institute-level scores are considered.

Honestly, GIBS doesn't stress too much about “only one specific exam.” As long as you have written any of these exams and meet the basic cut-off, you're good to apply. They focus more on your overall profile, communication, and interest in management rather than just exam marks.

ALL THE BEST!

At GIBS, the faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:15, which honestly makes learning a lot easier. Since the classes aren't overcrowded, the faculty actually get time to focus on each student.

You can easily ask your doubts, get personal guidance, and have open discussions. It feels more like a mentor-student connection than a typical classroom setup. This helps a lot in understanding concepts better and building confidence for real-world situations.
