Which Bschools can I get if my CAT percentile is between 90 and 100? Around 300+ colleges in India accept an overall CAT percentile of 90+. Candidates who failed to score a CAT percentile of 99+ also have the chance to pursue their MBA at any of the top institutes based on their CAT score. Candidates who scored a CAT percentile between 90 and 100 can apply for the MBA courses offered by IIMs or other top B schools in India, like IITs, XLRI, SPJIMR, MDI Gurgaon, SIBM Pune, and others. Candidates can use the CAT percentile predictor to know their overall CAT 2025 percentile before the release of the CAT 2025 results. Those who will be able to achieve between 90 to 100 percentiles can hope to receive a call from the IIM or the premier B-schools of India to pursue an MBA.

After the declaration of the CAT result, all the IIMs and B-schools will release their CAT 2025 cutoffs on their official websites. The CAT cutoff is accessible only to those aspirants who appeared in the CAT 2025. Those who meet the required cutoff can appear for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds of IIMs.
Candidates must note that there are two types of CAT cutoff for IIM admission, namely the qualifying cutoff and the final cutoff. To get admitted into any IIMs or any top MBA colleges in India, the minimum CAT 2025 cutoff is expected to be 90 percentile in the CAT exam as per past trends. Those who secured the 99+ CAT percentile can apply to top IIMs like IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, IIM Calcutta, and IIM Kozhikode.

After securing a 98+ in the CAT percentile in the exam, candidates can undoubtedly assume getting a call from IIMs. Here, one can claim a seat in their dream B-Schools such as IIM Lucknow, Bangalore, Kozhikode, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Shillong, and Indore.

There is a caveat to the above-mentioned B-schools; one should note that the top B-schools and IIMs also consider other components. They consider a few factors, such as past educational qualifications and work experience, to shortlist candidates and final selection criteria.
For the final IIM Bangalore selection process, the institute will give 25 per cent weightage to the CAT score, and the rest of 75 percent will be assigned to the Written Ability Test (WAT) & Personal Interview (PI) to 40 percent and 25 percent to past academic record, and the rest of 10 percent will be given to work experience. Hence, if a candidate secures the 99th percentile in CAT 2025, there is no guarantee of getting a call from IIM unless they have a strong background.
Know how the CAT score vs percentile is calculated here
If one secures a 95 percentile in the CAT exam or above, then there are lots of Tier-1 B-schools where they can apply for 2025-2027 batches. Check the table below, which consists of IIMs, IITs, as well as other B-schools.

The above-mentioned institutions also give weightage to candidates' profiles. Apart from meeting the CAT cutoff criteria and candidates' profiles, candidates have to do well in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds.
If a candidate's CAT 2025 percentile falls between 90 to 95 percentiles, for them, there is a wide range of top B-schools.

On Question asked by student community
If you got 802 marks in Telangana Intermediate and belong to the ST category, you have a fair chance to get admission in a BPT course in 2025, but it depends on the college and cut-off. Most BPT colleges in Telangana ask for 12th marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and some also use the TS EAMCET rank for admission. The cut-off for ST students is usually lower than for general students, but it changes every year. It is better to check the previous year’s cut-offs of the colleges you want to apply to.
Hey,
You already have a strong profile with the score of 58% in Class 10, 74% in Class 12, and 80% in graduation, but admission in IIT Bombay, Shailesh J Mehta School of Management is quite competitive, especially if you are in general category because the cutoff for general goes to 98.5-99%. Your CAT percentage is impressive but your 10th marks might reduce your score during the shortlisting process. If you perform well in Written Ability Test and Personal Interview, and present your commerce background you still stand a fair chance. But it would also be wise if you have some backups like MDI Gurugram, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, where your marks and profile will fit well in their selection range.

The three key formulas that can solve almost all Profit & Loss problems are:
Profit/Loss % = (Profit or Loss / Cost Price) × 100%, where CP is the cost price.
Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100%, where MP is the marked price.
Mark up % = (Mark up Value / Cost Price) × 100%, where CP is the cost price.
These formulas can be adapted for problems involving discounts, marked price, or successive gains/losses.
