Which colleges do I need to apply separately for even after giving the CAT?

Hi, CAT (Common Admission Test) is mainly a computer-based exam started by the IIM institute. Therefore, when you attend IIM and if you have the required scores, IIMs would possibly invite you to apply in their institute. However, there are many other educational institutes that accept CAT scores. In order to get admission in these institutes other than IIMs, you need to apply separately through their online portals or using their application forms. They would have a specific CAT cut-off score. You need to see if you have the required score to be eligible to apply to these colleges. Once you have submitted your application, you would have to go through all the other selection processes like presentation, GD and PI.

Yes, you need to apply separately for B-schools other than IIMs like SPJIMR, MDI, FMS, JBIMS and other top B-school which are accepting CAT score card too. Like IIMs conduct the CAT for admission into PGP there are various other B-school which are shortlisting candidate on the basis of score obtained in CAT but only when you apply to those institute with separately filled application form and paying their separate application fees. Then after submitting the form along with CAT details they check and verify your CAT score then accordingly they may call you if you get shortlisted on the basis of various parameters used in shortlisting the candidate for GD/PI. The top B-schools where you can apply are SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Management Development Institute, Faculty of Management Studies, Xavier’s Institute of Management, JBIMS, etc.
