Yes, you can take the CAT (Common Admission Test) after completing your dual degree from IIT Bhubaneswar. There are no specific eligibility criteria related to the type of degree or institution for CAT.

However, to be eligible to appear for the CAT exam, you must have completed your graduation with at least 50% marks or an equivalent CGPA (45% for SC/ST/PWD candidates) from a recognized university or educational institution. Since you have completed a dual degree from IIT Bhubaneswar, you should check with the CAT conducting body or the B-schools you are interested in applying to, regarding their specific eligibility criteria.

It's worth noting that the CAT exam is a prerequisite for admission to various management programs offered by top B-schools in India, including the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). The exam assesses a candidate's aptitude in various areas, including quantitative ability, verbal ability, data interpretation, and logical reasoning. If you meet the eligibility criteria and feel confident about your aptitude in these areas, you can certainly apply for the CAT exam.

Yes, after completing your dual degree from IIT Bhubaneswar, you can take the CAT exam to get admission into IIM or Indian Institute of Management. Generally, a good CAT score gives you a better chance of getting admitted to IIM.

The placements of dual degrees are slightly less than the B.Tech students. Many of the companies do not make any distinction between both the degrees and sometimes BTech graduates get more packages than dual degrees. On the other hand, teaching and research options are more for dual-degree candidates. Studying a dual degree from IIT Bhubaneswar offers much more than a standard engineering degree. It encourages students to develop new technologies, which will not only have a technological relevance but also a social impact. It will also help in the overall development of your personality.
