Hello aspirant,

Recently FMS has changed its weightage criteria. Earlier it used to give 85% weightage to CAT marks, 10% to interview and 5% to extempore so scoring very high percentile with an average interview and extempore performance used to fix your dears

But now it gives 60% weightage to CAT marks, 5% extempore, 15% Interview, 10% GD, 5% 10th class and 5% 12th class. Seeing that you have an average academic record so your score in that 10 % will be a little low in comparison to other student performance.

Hope you understand,
Thank you

Hello aspirant. I would like to tell you that yes you are eligble for CAT with these scores. You need to get good score in CAT to get admission in reputed colleges. However considering your UG percentage, you might face difficulty in the selection of top IIMs. But you can definitely attempt the CAT exam. I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck.
