I am sorry to say if you are a general category student then you won't be able to apply for CAT examination because as an eligibility criterion to appear in CAT examination you need to have atleast 50% marks in 10th, 12th and graduation. If you are an SC/ST category student then there is a 5% relaxation and you need to have atleast 45% marks in all the 3 academic areas i.e. 10th, 12th and graduation.

 

As you have less than 50% so it will be very difficult for you to find out a good college even after sitting in other MBA exams like XAT because many colleges also have an eligibility criterion of atleast 50% in graduation. So, make sure you think about the choices available to you before you start your preparations for MBA exams.

Dear Saroj, Iam sorry to inform you that, with less than 50%marks you would not be eligible for CAT and it would also be tough for you to apply in oyoth MBA entrances like MAT,CMAT and XAT.

So I kindly recommended you to make sure and consider your choice of going for an MBA.
