The 100 percentile scorers in the Common Admission Test (CAT) held in 2010 will be an eight-engineer all-male club. They have topped the second edition of the online CAT exam which decides admission to 11 Indian Institutes of Management and over 150 B-schools this year. The test scores will be released today.
Maharashtra has three toppers — two from Mumbai and one from Pune — and Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata and Indore have one each. Breaking the myth that women rarely top CAT, two women from Kerala and Andhra Pradesh have scored 99.9 percentile. In all, 19 candidates have scored 99.99 percentile, with three candidates each from Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat getting the second-best score. There are two candidates from Karnataka with 99.9 percentile. The identity of all toppers has been kept confidential.
IIMs, which jointly conduct the CAT, will announce the results on Wednesday. Candidates can download their score cards from the CAT website, www.catiim.in Over 1.86 lakh candidates appeared for CAT 2010, held between October 27 and November 24, across 20 test days. The CAT score is one of the inputs used by IIMs in admitting students to its flagship two-year Post-Graduate Programme. Weightage is given to work experience, personal interview and group discussion and academic performance in Class 12 and degree exams. Individual IIMs have uploaded their admission criteria for the 2011-13 batch on their websites.
