The cutoffs of CAT/XAT/GMAT and MICAT will be ascertained only after the performance of the entire aspirant pool can be taken into account. This includes those who will appear for MICAT 2 as well. Hence a cutoff cannot be determined as of now

The exam has 3 sections wherein the aptitude section is similar to other entrance exams. The Creative section has 2 parts- one, where you will be given an argument and you have to write 'to' or 'for' the motion and then your own opinion about the argument. The second part includes story writing on the 4 pictures provided to you. The psychometric section is a test of your personality where there are no wrong or right answers.

Hi. From talking to some students from MICA, I feel that the writing ability section of MICAT is the make or break here. How should one tackle this section? In terms of writing, is the focus on structure on structure, content, or both? Also, I was confused, given the time constraint, is it wise to write your answer in points, or in a paragraph? Any inputs would help.

Is CAT score a criterion for elimination while shortlisting? I mean to say, if I have a decent CAT score, but it's not too high, is that an issue?
