This is a significant increase from the 250,000 registrations we had last year, showing a 30% jump. The exam is scheduled for November 26th. To put this in perspective, in 2022, the increase was only 11%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Total Applicants<\/th><th>Female Applicants (38% of total)<\/th><th>Increase in Female Registrations<\/th><th>Female Student Ratio in IIMs (Range)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>3.3 lakh<\/td><td>1.17 lakh<\/td><td>3%<\/td><td>30% &#8211; 45%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/mba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/photo_129-min-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-863\" style=\"width:200px;height:200px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prof. Sanjeet Singh from IIM Lucknow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This year&#8217;s registrations are the highest we&#8217;ve ever seen since CAT started back in 1977.
