Congratulations for a good result!!

However, there is an issue here. The eligibility criteria for CAT clearly states that students (General and NC-OBC category) applying for CAT must have at least 50% in their undergraduate programme from a UGC granted Institute and the lower limit for SC/ST/PWD is leased to 45%. So if you belong to this leveraged category then you can expect calls from institutes like

*Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai

*Goa Institute of Management, Goa

*Xavier's Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

*IIM Jammu

*IIM Nagpur

*IIM Sirmaur

*IIM Vishakhapatnam

*IIM Amritsar

*IIM Sambhalpur



However, let me make it very clear that nothing can be said for sure because your graduation percentage is quite on a low side and calls from institutes are send not just on the basis of CAT percentile but also looking into their academic profile.

Anyway, if you happen to get calls, then that's really good and worth appreciating but stay prepared to answer their questions pertaining to low graduation percentage. Be honest in your approach, stay confident, and try to convince them with a decent answer. Though, the final shortlist is prepared by cumulative scores of CAT, graduation, 12th, GD and PI, yet You never know, you might get through.

Wish you all the luck!!
