An online Common Admission Test 2023 (CAT 2023) will be held by the Indian Institutes of Management on November 26, 2023.
CAT 2023: Why it is important.
A CAT 2023 score is a prerequisite for admission into various postgraduate and doctoral programs at IIMs. Listed institutions that are not IIM members are allowed to use CAT 2023 scores. The CAT website provides a list of such institutions. The IIMs are not involved in the selection process of non-IIM institutions.
Eligibility:
According to the CAT Eligibility, candidates must be graduates from a recognized university or have an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of Human Resources Development in India.
A minimum of 50% is required for candidates in the general category and NC-OBC category. In the case of reserved categories, it is 45%. Check out the CAT 2023 notification as well.
For candidates who receive grades or CGPA, the university/institute’s CAT Exam Eligibility process will be used for converting these grades or CGPA. Candidates in their final year or awaiting results are also eligible to apply following the CAT Eligibility guidelines.

₹1200 for candidates belonging to SC, ST, and PwD categories.
