CAT 2023 Eligibility

• The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in 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 a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or
  possess an equivalent qualification recognised by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
• 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.
• 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.

CAT 2023 Reservation Policy

1. As per the legal requirements, 15% of the seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates, 7.5% for
   Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates, 27% for Other Backward Classes candidates belonging to the “Non-Creamy”
   layer (NC-OBC), up to 10% for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) candidates and 5% for Persons with
   Benchmark Disabilities (PwD).
2. The candidates belonging to the reserved categories need to also note the eligibility requirements carefully
   before applying. It should be noted that while it is the endeavor of IIMs that the candidates belonging to
   SC/ST/NC-OBC/EWS/PwD categories join the programme in proportions mandated by the law, they have to
   meet the minimum eligibility criteria and a certain minimum level of performance to be considered for the
