CAT 2023 Exam: The Common Admission Test (CAT 2023), which is required for admission to management programs offered in IIMs, will be administered by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow tomorrow, November 26. On the day of the exam, candidates must print their CAT admit card from the official website of CAT at iimcat.ac.in, and bring it to the testing location.
155 cities will host the 2023 CAT exam. To avoid last-minute stress, those who are taking the exam should arrive at the exam center well in advance. The exam will take place over the course of three shifts, each lasting two hours.
Applicants taking the MBA admission test should be aware that different IIMs have varied CAT cut-off percentiles. If they want to be shortlisted for a subsequent selection process, they must achieve the minimal cut-off score specified by the institute.
One of the elements of the selection process for MBA admission to IIMs is the CAT score. Every IIM will make public its specific admissions procedure, which will comprise rounds of interviews, group discussions, and written ability tests (WBTs). To create a shortlist of candidates, the institutes will also take into account prior work experience and academic achievement.
