CAT 2022 ELIGIBILITY

●    The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in the case of candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Persons with Disability (PwD) categories], awarded by any University or educational institution as incorporated by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in India or declared to be deemed as an University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognised by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.

●    Candidates appearing for the final year of Bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. However, it may be noted that such candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally, only if they submit a certificate from the Principal/Registrar of their University/Institution (issued on or before the date as stipulated by the respective IIM) stating that they have completed all the requirements for obtaining the Bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate.

 

●    Candidates applying for CAT 2022 should fulfill any one of the following conditions:

●   Completed Bachelor’s degree with the required percentage of marks*.

*SC/ST/PwD candidates should have a minimum 45%.  For General, EWS and NC-OBC candidates, the minimum is 50%.

●    The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate would be calculated based on the practice as

followed by the respective University/Institution.  In case of grades/CGPA, the conversion to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure as certified by the respective University/Institution. If any University/Institution confirms that there is no scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA, and multiplying the result with 100.

●    IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided

at  the  website  www.iimcat.ac.in.  Applicants  should  note  that  the  mere  fulfilment of the minimum eligibility criteria will not ensure consideration for shortlisting by IIMs. Candidates must declare and maintain a valid and unique email account and a mobile phone number throughout the selection process.
