  • Yes, it's compulsory to appear in CAT and score significantly high to get a seat in IIM. CMAT is acceptable in other MBA colleges, like KJ Somaiya, etc.

    Greetings,
    Yes, for IIMs you have to score good percentile in CAT. IIMs do not accept any other entrance exam result. CMAT score is not acceptable.

    CAT is essential, if you get more than 97 percentile.

    It is compulsory to give CAT exam for doing MBA in IIMs. Without CAT it is not possible to get into IIMs. The required cutoff ranges from 96-100 percentile. You will get a weak IIM with 96 percentile and a good one with 99.80-100 percentile like IIM-A, B or C.
    CMAT exam is accepted only in AICTE approved B-schools.

    For taking entry into IIM, you need to appear in CAT exam and later on should fetch a very good percentile.

    For IIMs, score in CAT is considered. CMAT scores are not eligible to apply.
