What if my CAT percentile is between 80 and 90? - Getting 100 percentile in CAT is the first dream of any management aspirant. But the truth is 5 to 10 of the candidates able to achieve this benchmark. But, there is a huge number of candidates who fall between 80 to 90 percentile in CAT. The majority of top B-schools will require more than 90 percentile in CAT which makes tricky situations for those who got 80 to 90 percentile. Candidates started thinking “Will I able to secure a seat in reputed management college of not”. Apart from IIMs and top institutes, there are many good B-schools who shortlist candidates on a lesser percentile. However, after one clear CAT and scored well, they still have to go through with Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) to get admitted in a B-school.
