TEST CENTRES
CAT will be conducted in test centres spread across around 156 test cities. Candidates will be given the option to select any four test cities in order of their preference.
IIMs reserve the right to change or cancel any test centre / city and / or change the test time and date at their discretion.
ADMISSION PROCESS
Please note that each IIM is independent to mandate their own eligibility criteria (including academic cut-offs and relative weights) and follow different selection processes. Performance in the CA 2019 examination is an important component for consideration in the selection process. IIMs may also use the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience and other similar inputs in short-listing of candidates at various stages of the selection process. For more information, refer to the admissions policies of individual IIMs on their respective websites.
CAT 2019 shall be conducted in two sessions. Two different Test Forms shall be administered in two Test Sessions. In order to ensure fairness and equity in comparison of performances of candidates across different test sessions, the scores of candidates shall be subjected to a process of Normalisation. The Normalisation process shall adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms. After normalisation across different forms, the scores shall be further normalised across different sections. The Scaled Scores obtained by this process shall be converted into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting.
Rs 950 for SC, ST and PwD category candidates.
Rs1900 for all other categories of candidates.
Please note that a candidate needs to pay registration fees only once, irrespective
of the number of institutes he / she is applying for. Fees once paid cannot be

CAT 2019 shall be conducted in two sessions. Two different Test Forms shall be administered in two Test Sessions. In order to ensure fairness and equity in comparison of performances of candidates across different test sessions, the scores of candidates shall be subjected to a process of Normalisation. The Normalisation process shall adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms. After normalisation across different forms, the scores shall be further normalised across different sections. The Scaled Scores obtained by this process shall be converted into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting.
For reporting purposes, Scaled Scores for each section (Section I : Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Section II : Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Section III : Quantitative Ability (QA) and Total along with the Percentiles shall be published.
The process of Normalisation is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multiple Test Forms and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational selection tests conducted in India, such as the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). For normalisation across sections, we will use the percentile equivalence.
Calculation of percentile score of a candidate :
The steps described below are followed to calculate the CAT 2019 overall and sectional percentile scores obtained by a candidate. While illustrating the percentile score calculation process, QA section is chosen as an example. Similar process is followed for the overall percentile score calculation and for the other two sections, i.e. DILR and VARC in CAT 2019.
A methodology similar to the one described above is used for the computation of the overall CAT percentile scores and for the percentile scores of other sections.

IIM CAT 2019 result will be declared shortly by second week of January. The Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) in India are the leading management colleges of India. These are twenty autonomous institutes which are of national importance.
IIM Kozhikode conducted the Common Admission Test (CAT) on November 24, 2019. Over 2 lakh candidates took the test and are awaiting results. CAT 2019 results are expected to be announced in the first or second week of January 2020. The result will be announced on the official site, www.iimcat.ac.in. It will be declared as a scorecard, in which the scaled score along with sectional and overall percentile of the candidate will be mentioned.
Admission in each IIM is granted on the basis of CAT percentile scores. The conducting IIM determines a CAT cut off and candidates scoring above that percentile apply for admission. On the basis of percentile and number of seats, a call letter is sent to the candidate. These selected candidates then appear for the personal interview and written ability tests and other rounds.
Each IIM has its own criteria apart from the basic selection criterion These in depth selection criteria for each IIM varies and can include extracurricular activities, work experience, class marks, medals, recognitions etc.
This year’s cut-off and selection criteria for most IIMs have been released and are available on the respective website of the institute: Read More...
