CAT 2012 ELIGIBILITY FOR ADMISSION TO IIM
PROGRAMS
Eligibility: The candidate must hold a
bachelor’s degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (45% in case of
the candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA (it may also referred to as Persons with
Disability (PwD) category)), awarded by any of the universities incorporated
by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational
institutions estd by an act of parliament or declared to be deemed as a university
u/s 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized
by the MHRD, Govt of India
The
percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would
be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution
from where the candidate has obtained the degree
In case
the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of
grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified
by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor’s
degree
In case
the university/institution does not have any 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

examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting
results can also apply.
