FAQs

Ques. Do IIMs give ladies a relaxation on the CAT cut-off? 

Ans: For IIMs, there is no such thing as a cutoff for girls in the CAT. However, when shortlisting for gender diversity, most IIMs award extra points to female candidates. As a result, female candidates have an edge at this point. Female candidates, on the other hand, do not receive any additional marks in the final selection following the interview. So, in the shortlisting process, girls have an advantage, but not beyond that.

Ques. What is the CAT cut-off percentile for students in the general category to get into new IIMs? 

Ans: IIMs are divided into three categories: old IIM, new IIM, and baby IIM. The CAT cutoff for the old IIMs, which comprise A, B, C, L, K, and I, is normally above 99 percentile. You must also have an excellent profile. If you don't have an engineering background, you might get a call at approximately the 85th percentile. In recent years, it has been reported that these IIMs have placed a greater premium on the candidates' whole profile rather than just their CAT percentile. 

Ques. Is it possible for an average student to pass the CAT? 

Ans: Yes, even mediocre pupils can pass the CAT exam. Students who complete the CAT in one sitting have the necessary aptitude for the exam, which has been developed over time. They have been avid readers and have practiced math since they were in elementary school. 

Ques. Is the CAT exam's average score 200? 

Ans: No, a 200 on the CAT exam should put you in the 98th percentile, if not the 99th percentile. The average CAT score, according to recent trends, is around 75-80. The average CAT score, on the other hand, is largely ignored. To be considered for admission to a reputable B-school, you must have a score of at least 90 percentile, or 100 points.

Ques. How can I find out whether I've been selected for the next round of the IIM Kashipur CAT 2023 admissions process? 

Ans: Candidates can check their shortlist status by visiting the official website of IIM Kashipur and entering their CAT registration ID, email address, and date of birth. However, only candidates who have applied for the institute's admission process or selected the institute as one of their choices throughout the application process will be considered for the admission process.

Ques. What is the importance of PI in the IIM Kashipur CAT 2023 admissions procedure, and what kind of questions are asked in PI? 

Ans: In IIM Kashipur, the weightage of PI is 25 marks out of 100. The following parameters are used to judge the results of the PI rounds: 

  • Ability to communicate 
  • Knowledge of a subject or topic 
  • Skills in listening 
  • Confidence and ability to interact 
  • During the PI rounds, the interviewer looks into the candidate's hobbies, interests, and so on.

Ques. Why is the CAT regarded as a difficult exam? 

Ans: The CAT exam isn't difficult in and of itself. People consider the examination as challenging because of the rivalry and the excitement around it. The CAT syllabus is rather simple. Basic math and English questions are included in the exam. For the most part, it consists of old-fashioned multiple-choice questions. 

Ques. How do I study for the CAT exam's quantitative aptitude section? 

Ans: One of the most essential sections of the CAT exam is the Quantitative Aptitude (QA) part. Topics that are based on your academic background. 

It's impossible to cover all of the essentials of each topic while also focusing on your areas of weakness. In the CAT, the QA component consists of around 34 questions and lasts 3 hours. Number systems, Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry, Mensuration, and Modern Math are among the topics covered.

Ques. After the CAT, what should I do? 

Ans: To convert calls from good B-Schools during the time after the CAT, you should do the following.

  • Prepare for the GD-PI exam. Participate in interactive webinars and workshops. Prepare for mock interviews. 
  • To keep up with current events, read newspapers, finance magazines, and other publications. 
  • Other competitive exams can be taken. That way, if your CAT score isn't good, you'll have options. 
  • In addition, do extensive study on the colleges to which you are applying. To learn about the real situation on campus, speak with current students and alumni.

Ques. What if two candidates get the same score on the cat exam? 

Ans: When two candidates have identical CAT scores, they are assigned the same percentile. The number of candidates you outscored in the CAT is essentially your performance. When two candidates receive the same grade, it means they outperformed the same number of students. As a result, two students with the same grade point average will have the same CAT percentile. In CAT, there are no tie-breaking rules.

Ques. What is the best technique for getting a 95+ on the CAT exam? 

Ans: Here are some tips for achieving a CAT score of 95 or higher. 

  • To begin, brush up on the fundamentals of Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Data Interpretation, and Verbal Ability. 
  • Once you've mastered the fundamentals, try as many problems as you can from these themes. 
  • Mocks should be given at least twice a week. Examine your mocks and identify the common errors you make. Make a mental note of these blunders. 
  • The most challenging component of V.R. is reading comprehension. In this part, make sure you're at ease. Practice if you aren't already. 
  • Make an effort to improve your reading speed. Maintain a word rate of at least 150 words per minute.
  • Keep up with the latest news and events from around the world. 
  • Maintain your motivation throughout the preparation period.

Ques. What is the most common misconception regarding passing the CAT exam? 

Ans: Here are some typical CAT myths that you should avoid believing. 

  • Exam results are always better for people who are fluent in English. 
  • If you come from a technical background, the Quantitive Ability portion should be avoided. 
  • In the CAT, people with higher IQs do better. 
  • You will do better if you know more shortcuts. 
  • People who have worked before have a better probability of passing the exam. 
  • In order to pass the CAT, you must be dedicated and well-prepared.
