As the CAT 2022 results are out, IIMs will be starting their admission process soon. Shortlisted candidates will get to know once respective IIMs put the list on the website.

Recently, CAT provided the answer key and asked students to raise objections, if any, and 113 objections were filed. Of those 113 objections, 72 were from Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and out of 72, 2 were accepted. This led to the scrapping of 2 questions from the Slot 2 DILR section. 

Candidates who have scored 70-90 percentiles should not lose hope as apart from various IIMs, several non-IIMs are also considering CAT 2022 score. For that, you have to reach the official websites of the specific colleges and fill out their application form and look for the cut-offs. 

The best way to handle situations where you feel lost, and don’t know what college to choose, is to research. Make a sheet where you list down the colleges (according to your score) where you wish to go, what quality of education they provide, what is the standard of the campus placements, and so many things. Every student wishes to go to a nice institution and you can find your way by comparing the listed institutions and what ranks the highest should be your future college. As we know, education is an expensive matter so one should have a thorough analysis before taking this step because this is your future and one would always want that brighter.
