CAT 2012 witnessed an increase in registrations for the first time since the exam went online. The number of girls who registered for the exam was higher compared to previous year.
“It’s heartening to note that the IIMs are ushering in the New Year with a talent pool that is both diverse and inclusive representing all sections of the society. The CAT 2012 Results indicate that the rhetoric of inclusion indeed matches the reality inside IIM classrooms. We are glad that we started the trend of greater gender diversity inside IIMs. We trust that the classroom learning will be an enriching experience for those who finally find their way to the IIMs this year ” said Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM Kozhikode.
Highlights of CAT 2012 results are:
- Ten students with 100 percentile scores one of them is studying science at Delhi University and remaining come from engineering discipline. Eight of these students with the perfect scores come from IITs. Five of the ten students are still in their final year of graduation.
- Four girls share the honours of scoring 99.99 percentile, highest score from among the girls. All these engineering students in their final year are studying in different parts of the country Karnataka, Orissa, Delhi and UP. In all 255 girls and 1640 boys scored more than 99 percentile.

It feels good to hear that the number of girls in IIM has been increasing year by year. Even though the competition is very high, the highest percentile is above 99……… Scoring 99 percent and above is not an easy task but, students from different discipline are proving that nothing is hard to achieve if we will decide to do that with full efforts.
