No, securing a high CAT percentile is not enough for getting the final admission offer. Candidates have to fulfil other selection criteria such as performance in Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) and overall academic and professional profile.

Apart from the CAT scores, B-schools consider candidates' written and spoken communication skills through Written Ability Test or Essay Writing, Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds. The B-schools also consider candidates' overall profile such as past academic records, work experience and extracurricular activities or abilities. Candidates Class 12 scores and overall academic profile plays a decisive role in selection as institutes look for consistency in excellence.

The B-School with CAT cutoff of 85 percentile that has the highest fee is MICA Ahmedabad. The course fee of MICA's PGDM in Communication is INR 21 lakh. The fee is to be paid in instalment.
