Eligibility

In order to take the SRMCAT 2023 exam, you need to meet certain eligibility requirements. If you don't satisfy these conditions, I'm afraid you won't be permitted to sit for the exam. Plus, it's noteworthy that during the counseling process, there's a thorough check of all your documents. So, if you don't meet the specified criteria, you might run the risk of not gaining admission or even having your admission letter rejected. 

Graduation Requirements: Are you preparing to graduate? If so, you need to know that you'll need to complete a minimum of three years in any graduate course. This must be a course that is accredited by a recognized board. Worried about whether that applies to you if you're still in your final year? Don't stress! Even final-year graduates can apply for the SRMCAT 2023 examination.

Score Constraints: Planning on joining the MBA program? Great! Just make sure you've achieved at least an aggregate of 60% in your graduation. If it's the 5-year Integrated MBA you're after, the same scoring rules apply, but they'll be based on the aggregate in your H.S.C exam or an equivalent exam.

FYI for Final Year Students: To all you final year undergraduates out there, you're welcome to apply for the SRMCAT exam! Just be ready with your graduation mark sheet when you attend the counseling session - you'll need to show it for verification.
