FAQs on CAT 2026
Ques. I am in my final year. Can I apply for CAT 2026?
Ans. Yes, final-year undergraduate students can apply for CAT 2026 if they meet the eligibility conditions. Candidates must obtain the required minimum marks in their bachelor's degree and submit proof of completion within the deadline specified by the respective IIM.
Ques. When exactly is the CAT 2026 exam?
Ans. CAT 2026 is scheduled for November 29, 2026, and will be conducted in three sessions. Candidates must check their admit cards for the allotted slot, reporting time and examination centre details.
Ques. Is the CAT 2026 exam pattern changing this year?
Ans. Candidates should refer to the official CAT 2026 information bulletin for the confirmed pattern. The exam has three sections: VARC, DILR and Quantitative Aptitude, with a separate time limit for each section. Check the official website for the final question count and marking scheme.
Ques. I am not from a commerce background. Am I still eligible for CAT 2026?
Ans. Yes. CAT is open to graduates from different academic backgrounds, including engineering, science, arts, commerce and humanities. Candidates generally need at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA in their bachelor's degree, while SC, ST and PwD candidates need at least 45%, subject to the official eligibility rules.
Ques. Does the conducting IIM change the difficulty level of CAT?
Ans. The conducting IIM may change from year to year, but this does not mean the exam will automatically become easier or harder. CAT difficulty depends on the questions set for each section. Since the exam takes place in multiple sessions, scores are normalised to account for differences in difficulty across slots.
Ques. Is there a limit on the number of CAT attempts?
Ans. No. There is no fixed limit on the number of CAT attempts. Candidates can appear in multiple years as long as they satisfy the eligibility requirements for each examination cycle.
Ques. How is the CAT percentile calculated?
Ans. CAT percentile indicates the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a candidate's performance. The calculation uses the candidate's scaled score after normalisation across examination sessions. Therefore, percentile is not the same as percentage of marks, and the same raw score may correspond to different percentiles in different years.
Ques. Do I need work experience for admission to an IIM?
Ans. No. Work experience is not compulsory for admission to every IIM's postgraduate management programme. Fresh graduates can apply, although some IIMs consider work experience as one factor during shortlisting or final selection. The weight assigned to work experience varies by institute and admission year.

With a VARC 47th percentile, chances of getting an MBA call from IITs are very low. Most IITs (like IIT Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Kharagpur) require sectional cutoffs around the 60-70 percentile in each section, along with a strong overall percentile. Despite excellent Quants (97.43) and DILR (94.48), the low VARC score is a major constraint.

For admission to the best MBA colleges in India, a high entrance-exam percentile is very important in CAT. Top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta require 95-99+ percentile, while good Tier-1 colleges such as FMS Delhi, IITs, and SPJIMR prefer 90-98 percentile, depending on category. The admission process includes CAT/GMAT score evaluation, followed by WAT/GD/PI rounds, academic record assessment, work-experience points, and overall profile review.
Scoring 90 percentile in CAT for IIFT Delhi needs focused preparation, smart strategy, and disciplined practice. Start with building strong basics in Quant, DILR, and VARC through NCERTs, editorials, and daily problem-solving. Practice 2-3 VARC RCs daily, solve DILR sets with time limits, and revise important Quant chapters. Take full mock tests weekly, analyse your mistakes, and improve accuracy rather than speed alone. Follow a fixed study timetable for at least 4-6 months to reach 90 percentile.
