Test

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is an all-India test conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) as an entrance test for the management programmes of its six business schools.

More than 200,000 (230,000 in the year 2007[1]) students compete for about 1500 seats in the IIMs. This is said to make the IIMs even more selective than all the Ivy League Universities[1]. Even with a top 1% score, a candidate must also cross the equally stringent hurdles of a group discussion and an individual interview.
