Common Admission Test (CAT) - one
of the most sought after and highly competitive entrance exams in the world is
the gateway to the apex B-schools - 19 IIMs and 100+ non IIM institutes in the
country.
The level of difficulty is hard
and it takes a thorough preparation to do well in the exam. The selection to
the 13 IIMs is based on the CAT scores and three rounds - Written Ability Test
(WAT), Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). The rounds are
carried out to narrow down candidates for final selection. Also know best iit coaching

Going by the past trends, 6 older
IIMs - IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore and
IIM Kozhikode have 98+ score as their cut off. While other 7 new IIMs
established at Rohtak, Shillong, Ranchi, Raipur, Trichy, Kashipur and Udaipur
have a cut-off score that ranges from 90 to 98.
Rest of the 6 IIMs comes into the
'newer' category. These institutes have been either established this year or
are yet to be established. The cut offs to be released by these IIMs can be
anticipated to be set little low. This is because the IIMs are not so popular
now and do not have any records to match reputation of the old-established
IIMs.
The newer IIMs are located at
Nagpur, Bodhgaya, Visakhapatnam, Amritsar, Sambalpur and Sirmaur.
Apart from the 19 IIMs, 100+
premier B-schools carry out admission on the basis of CAT scores. Some of the
popular names are Faculty of Management Studies, NITIE Mumbai, Shailesh J Mehta
School of Management, MDI Gurgaon and Fore School of Management. The cut off
released by these B-schools is also high, usually set above 90.
