Scorecard Validity and Admission Process
The CAT Scorecard 2025 remains valid until December 31, 2026 . Candidates must utilize their scores within this specified period for admission applications to management programs. The validity period will not extend beyond this date.
Successful candidates qualify for consideration for various management courses at IIMs. Each of the 21 IIMs, along with other premier Non-IIM institutions, will announce their individual admission criteria. These typically include specific CAT percentile cut-offs.
The CAT exam evaluates candidates on four key areas: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Ability (QA). The score reflects performance across these sections.
Beyond the CAT score, most institutions conduct further rounds of selection. These commonly involve a Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). Candidates will receive direct communications from institutions they have applied to regarding these subsequent stages.
Candidates should monitor the websites of their preferred management institutes for specific application deadlines and selection process details. Final admissions depend on a composite score, including academic record and performance in the interview rounds.
