No, but getting a call requires a high score in CAT. For final selection, your previous academics, experience and essay writing ability is also considered.

No, CAT is not the only factor to get admission in IIMs. You would not be invited for interview, unless you perform well in CAT (Or any other exam like XAT, SNAP, etc.).
