CGPA for MBA and CAT
CAT eligibility asks for a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (45% for SC, ST and PwD candidates). For CGPA, the CAT rule is to use your university's own conversion procedure; if your university has none, divide your CGPA by the maximum CGPA and multiply by 100. Always check the current year's notice on iimcat.ac.in.
What this means for you
- If your university publishes a rule, use it, even if it gives a lower number than × 9.5.
- If it does not, 8.2 out of 10 becomes 82%.
- Other MBA entrance tests (XAT, CMAT, MAT) and colleges set their own rules, so read each form.
