Expected cut-off

          All IIMs 1-2 IIMs
Quanta 25 100 25% Moderate to tough 36 32
DI+LR 25 100 25% Moderate to tough 40 36
Verbal 40 160 25% Moderate 60 50
Total 90 360 25% Moderate to tough 145 130

What was so different in CAT 2008? Well – the weight of Verbal section has increased from 33% to 44%. This is like going back to good old days of CAT (early 90s).

Not a wild deviation from the range of expectations.

The difficulty level of questions was similar to CAT 2007. There wasn’t anything surprisingly new within the sections. All question-type asked were known from past.

Scores: This was surely a low to moderate scoring test paper.

About MBA

The MBA degree opens up worlds of opportunity for its bearers. Many business positions require an MBA for advancement. For example, investment banking and management consulting firms hire large classes of newly minted MBAs each year at six-figure salaries into the "associate" level -- those without MBAs generally don't advance past the "analyst" level. At major consumer products companies like Procter & Gamble, Kraft and Colgate-Palmolive, MBAs are hired as "assistant brand managers" into the brand management department -- those without MBAs are generally not eligible for the department. And it is from this function that these companies' senior executives are generally drawn.
