Hi Friends,

DoMS, IIT Madras also admits students based on their CAT scores.

Previously, the GD/PI shortlist was only prepared based on JMET scores, but from the year 2009, DoMS, IITM also considers CAT scores for application.
However, the eligibility still remains the same i.e. the candidate must have a first class 4 yrs bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech.), or a first class postgraduate degree in any discipline.

The current batch of 2009-2011 has a few students who have made it through CAT. I would like to highlight that they could not even qualify the JMET entrance test. Their admission was purely based on their CAT performance.

DoMS, IITM believes that a deserving student could have had a bad day on JMET and hence CAT is another opportunity the departmrnt provides them.
Please post your admissions, academic and college related queries on this thread. Looking forward to seeing more candidates qualifying from CAT this year.

Hi Puys,
For those who would be taking CAT and JMET this year, hope your preparations are going as per plan. In addition to the information that Bhawik has already provided i guess next thing you would be wondering is what was the cut off for IITM thru CAT. It was somewhere around 97% with sectionals applicable, therefore even if due to some reason you are not able to clear the cut offs of JMET there are always good chances of applying thru CAT.

Procedure to reply through CAT is straightforward. The CAT results would have been announcd by the time the JMET results are announced. The JMET results will be out on 4th January. After that, the IITs would open up the admission process. You would be required to download an admission form from the DoMS IITM site, fill in your details and send a DD for the specified amount alongwith the filled in form, to the DoMS office.
The shortlisted candidates will receive an invitation letter for GD/PI from DoMS. The exact dates are not yet out, but generally the GD/PI happens around April.

Hi bhawik,Just wanted to know if we need to fill up separate application forms for CAT and JMET...or is it the same form wherein we mention both the scores?

Its the same form. And you may or may not mention both the scores. I would advise you to fill in whatever you feel is the better of the two.

Hii Bhawik,

can you please give some idea about the sectional cutoffs for last year , based on CAT score?

bhawik · 01:32 PM

Cannot say for sure about a blanket cutoff.. it depends on that year's results and the student's profile. For instance, we have a classmate from CAT score who had a 93 %ile, but he had worked for 5 yrs in the UAE. But overall, my personal feeling is that its around: Verbal/DI/Quant 85/85/95 percentiles. This should push the overall score to aorund 97 %ile.

Hi All,

Unlike other B Schools where the last date for filling application forms is even before you give your CAT (thus causing huge financial burden without even knowing what score you are gonna get), in DoMS IIT Madras you are required to apply for admission only after CAT results are declared. In case you have both CAT and JMET score, then for candidates' benefit the better of the two would be considered.
