CAT (Common Admission Test) : The CAT (Common Admission Test) is a pre-requisite to qualify for the IIMs and 65 other MBA schools in the country. However in recent years, for the benefit of students, many other institutes in the country also accept the CAT as their qualifying test.

The CAT tests you on two subjects English and Math. These subjects are further subdivided into areas, viz Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning and Verbal Ability. The areas are clearly demarcated into sections, with the number of sections and their composition varying from year to year. Hence the structure of the CAT is not certain.The CAT is held once every year, on the last Sunday in November.

The CAT is not a test of intelligence, it only indicates whether you have the necessary aptitude to do well in the course you wish to study. This test also identifies your general scholastic ability.

CAT Scorecard
The CAT scorecard does not give any absolute or actual scores. The CAT being an aptitude test grades students on the relative scale. The scores are presented in two formats Percentage score (%score) and Percentile for each section and the overall test. A sample representation of the scores is given below.

Percentage (%)score
The % score represents normalized percentage of scores secured by the candidate. It is a relative method of representing the score. This is not the actual % score.

Percentile
Percentile indicates student's relative performance position among the total students who took the CAT.
For example - 98 percentile means that the student is among the top 2 percent of the population who took the CAT.


Logic & DI Quantitative Verbal Total
% Score Percentile % Score Percentile % Score Percentile % Score Percentile
74.78 99.68 58.77 99.14 61.02 98.56 65.04 99.93

Eligibility Criteria
1. A 50% in Bachelor's degree recognized by the Association of Indian Universities/AICTE
2. Candidates appearing at the final bachelor's degree or equivalent degree examinations are also eligible to apply.

There is no fixed structure of CAT. The test can be in various combinations like 4 sections (each timed for 30 mins or non-timed), 2 or 3 sections again timed or non-timed etc. But the questions are based largely on the four areas, Problem solving, Data Interpretation, Reading Comprehension and Verbal ability.

What is the minimum score required to clear the CAT?
There is nothing like a minimum score to clear the CAT. The score cut-off varies every year, as it is relative scoring.

you have to clear each section and do well in all the areas that are being tested.

What is the minimum cut-off for each section?
Again the cutoff for each section varies for every year and the minimum cut-off is not known. But from our years of experience we believe that as a thumb rule an attempt of 70% of the questions with an 80% accuracy rate is required to clear the cut-off score.

Is the cut-off same for each section?
The cutoff for each section also varies within a test and is not fixed.

There are various institutes, which accept the CAT score as a pre requisite for admission. Some of the institutes are good and well recognized. Please click here for the list of other institutes

six months are enough for the preparation of CAT. During these six months students should show discipline and determination by studying regularly for at least 2 hrs a day.

GD/PI

An interview is a personality test. In an interview, the panel looks for a sound grasp of your discipline, self-awareness, clarity of goals, and a well-rounded personality.

The institutes call you for an interview because they don't know you, and they want to get to know you in order to assess if you have the qualities that would make a good manager. In a GD these qualities are revealed by your participation in the group. In an interview, the panel deduces these qualities from your answers.

A GD is a methodology used by the institute to gauge the candidates capability to function as a part of a team. In this methodology, the group of candidates are given a topic or a situation, given a few minutes to think about the same, and then asked to discuss the topic among themselves for 15-20 minutes.


The reason why institutes put you through a Group discussion and an interview, after testing your technical and conceptual skills in an exam, is to get to know you as a person and gauge how well you will fit in their institute. The Group discussion tests how you function as a part of a team. As a manager, you will always be working in teams, as a member or as a leader. Therefore how you interact in a team becomes an important criterion for your selection. Managers have to work in a team and get best results out of teamwork. That is the reason why management institutes include GD as a component of the selection procedure.

an animal and a name of an exam

Answer 5

The cat, also called the domestic cat or house cat, is a small carnivorous mammal of the subspecies Felis silvestris catus. Its most immediate pre-domestication ancestor is believed to be the African wild cat, Felis silvestris lybica. The cat has been living in close association with humans for somewhere between 3,500 and 8,000 years[1].

There are dozens of breeds of cat, some hairless or tailless as a result of mutations, and they exist in a variety of different colors. They are skilled predators and have been known to hunt over one thousand different species for food. They are also intelligent animals, and some can be trained or learn by themselves to manipulate simple mechanisms such as lever-handled doors and flush toilets.

They communicate by calling ("meow"/"miaou"), purring, hissing, growling, chirping, clicking, grunting, and about a hundred other vocalizations and body language.[2] Cats in colonies use a mix of vocalizations and body language to communicate with each other.

Because the domestication of the cat is relatively recent, cats may also still live effectively in the wild, often forming small colonies. The cat's association with humans leads it to figure prominently in the mythology and legends of several cultures, including those of the ancient Egyptians, ancient Chinese, and Norse.
