Hi Ankita, In order to pursue MBA from IIMs you must hold a bachelor's Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA, plus you need to take CAT test. Please note that each IIM shortlists candidates for second stage of selection which may be independent of each other. The process may include: 1. Written Ability Test (WAT). 2. Group Discussions (GD) 3. Personal Interviews (PI). Performance in CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may use previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience and other similar inputs in short listing and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. For more information you may refer the admissions policies of IIMs from their respective websites. To prepare for CAT exam you may work on such points- -To score well, you need to know what sections the test paper consists of. CAT consists of Quantitative Ability , Verbal Ability and Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. It is very important to know the content of the test, to ace it. -Plan your preparation after knowing your strengths and weaknesses and take a diagnostic test. -Start your preparation after gauging your weaknesses. Read newspapers, business dailies and magazines as this exercise will help you to understand different topics and increase your hold over English, general knowledge and various other topics. -To excel, one has to be very organised. You should make a time table and follow it. -When you get a grip over the basic syllabus of the CAT exam, you should start taking regular mock tests to know your preparation status. Also you must see if you are improving after taking the tests and analyse your performance. Many institutes like T.I.M.E., Career Launcher, IMS, etc also prepare you for CAT and are especially useful if your fundamentals are weak. I am sending you link of institutes offering CAT coaching in the country. The strategy for success must include: early, continuous, and serious preparation, starting right now. Hope this will help you in the best way. Feel free to raise more queries or you may close the question by liking it or marking it as the best answer.
