CAT 2014 is the gateway to the 19 IIMs and other top B schools like FMS, SPJIMR, MDI, IMI, IMT, NITIE, TAPMI and many others. The entrance test was conducted on Nov 16 & 22, 2014 in 4 sessions. Result for CAT 2014 exam was expected in the third week of December but due to unavoidable circumstances the result has been delayed by a week.

The delay of one week in declaration of CAT 2014 result is mainly due to the fact that final checks were underway to see if there was any flaw in the process of score normalization in CAT 2014 result. CAT Centre 2014 wanted to ensure at all the points that no cause of worry for the CAT 2014 takers in score normalization must be present once the CAT 2014 result is declared.

Word of caution

The result is expected to be declared at 7 PM but there is a word of caution to the candidates is that the login site may be a little slow for quite some time after the declaration of CAT 2014 result. They should be ready to login to view their result immediately after declaration or should wait for some time so that the rush is subsided.

CAT Centre 2014 has however assured that despite the heavy rush at the time of declaration of CAT 2014 result in the evening the access to the CAT 2014 result site will be as smooth as always and even the simultaneous visit of 1.70 lakh candidates will not affect its functioning adversely.

Check Your CAT 2014 score card

In all probability CAT 2014 takers will be able to check their result and score cards after 7PM today the Dec 27, 2014 immediately after declaration of CAT 2014 result. CAT Centre 2014 and CAT 2014 convener have assured that CAT 2014 result will be declared in the evening on December 27, 2014 on the CAT 2014 website. Dr Rohit Kapoor CAT 2014 convener has already shared “On 27th Dec, 2014 evening, we are going to release the results for the candidates”.

The opportunity to explore admission in IIMs in 2015 is based on CAT 2014 scores. Past trends have shown that IIMs shortlist the candidates not only on the basis of high CAT percentiles but on other parameters also. However, high overall as well as sectional scores in CAT 2014 will be the mandatory requirement for getting shortlisted for final admission round in IIMs.

Anxiety over: Be calm

Since today is the day of aspirations, hopes and getting the entry level score card for final admission round in your dream IIM, it is but natural that your anxiety will be more. Most of the aspirants who had prepared with all sincerity taking leave from their work place, sacrificing most of their other commitments and divided & devoted their time only to CAT 2014 would be more anxious to know their scores. The IIM aspirants for admission 2015 can simply hope for the best till they get their score cards.

In fact those who prepared well and appeared in the CAT 2014 exam with all seriousness to get their dream B school after scoring a high percentile can also assess to a great extent where they stand. Remaining too anxious about the result may not be so much required. Such candidates are aware how much score they might be getting although it may deviate a little bit but not to a large extent.

IIMs: The prescribed cut off and actual cut off different

It is a well known fact that actual percentile cut offs in CAT is higher in IIMs and other top rated B schools  than the minimum required cut off. While the minimum CAT 2014 percentile shared in the admission criteria published in public domain by these IIMs is the bare threshold criteria which may be 90-92 percentile whereas the actual percentile cut off goes much higher than the prescribed one. Sometimes it is because of uneven sectional percentile and sometime it is due to other factors like academic profile, work experience etc.

If you have excellence in other areas also apart from CAT 2014 scores, even a bit low scores will serve the purpose. It is therefore suggested not to allow your anxiety level to flare as you will have the admission opportunity in IIMs with a bit low CAT 2014 scores if you have excellent profile. Similarly the aspirants scoring very high in CAT 2014 with not a very good profile may not be considered by the IIMs. So be relaxed, do not jump to any conclusion without checking your CAT 2014 result in the evening today.
