Hello,

Hope you are doing great! Here's your answer!

No, there is nothing like girls quota/ relaxation in Cat exam, only gender diversity weightage is given by approximately all IIMs during GDPI to maintain male- female ratio in their campus.

Girls don't get relaxation in CAT cut-off as such. While calculating the composite cut-offs to short list the eligible candidates for personal interview, most of the IIMs add bonus marks to female candidates to improve the gender diversity in the class. So you get some benefit at that stage.

It may be noted that for preparing the final list after interview, no bonus marks are given to female candidates. So you should note that you get the benefit only for shortlisting the candidates list for interview and not for the next stage.
