I am a final year UG student(2018-2021) and I am appearing for CAT 2021. Is this considered as a one year gap?
Aishwarya,
Candidates studying in final year of undergraduation can also apply for the CAT 2021. As this is your final year and you are writing CAT 2021, then it is not considered as one year gap. One year gap means, a period of one year taken by a student as a break between any two levels/stages of study. Example: if you do not give CAT this year and direclty go for job. And after one year you decide to write CAT , then the one year in which you earned work experience will be considered as GAP as you took a break of one year in your academics.

Which is the best CAT Institute in Hyderabad Time Or CL or IMS
Hello,
Time, CL and IMS are coaching institute for CAT examination.
These three are best institute for preparation. Fees are almost same IMS and TIME. And CL fees are quitly higher than these institutions.
Time is good, because they give very important study materials. They have very good teacher and help in online tests also.
IMS also good as well as Time institutions. It's very good for solutions.
Now come to the CL, Career launch is best. Because their study materials, studying style is different from another institution. Infact they are help you in any time by online also.
This review all over India according, so now it's your choice which institute you have to choose.
All the best.
Can someone provide a detailed solution to this problem? In a car race, car A beats car B by 45 km, car B beats car C by 50 km, and car A beats car C by 90 km. The distance (in km) over which the race has been conducted is 1. 475 2. 500 3. 450 4. 550
Hi Khushi,
Let us assume that the length of racetrack is x kms.
so, now when A covers x kms then, B covers (x-45)kms and C covers (x-90) kms.
And when B covers x kms,then C covers (x-50) kms.
We have concluded from the given question is that the ratio of speed of racers is same as the ratio of distance covered in a specific given time.
Therefor, Ratio of speed of B and C,
(Speed of B) / (speed of C) = (x - 45) / (x-90) = x / (x-50)
=> x / (x-50) = 45/40
After solving this, we get x = 450 kms.
Hope it helps to clear your dilemma, thankyou!

how to calculate cat percentile
Hi
Your CAT percentile tells you your position among those who have appeared in CAT examination .Your CAT percentile is the total percentage of students who have scored less than or equal to your score.
For example,
if you get 92 percentile, it means that your performance was better than 92 per cent of the total candidates that appeared in CAT examination .
Coming to, how CAT percentile is calculated
Let us have an example, just to understand easily , let's say 1000 students write the CAT examination, and you get 10th rank in CAT examination.
Then your percentile,
P = (N- r) / N x 100 ,
where ,
P is your percentile ,
N is the number of student that appeared in CAT.
= (1000 - 10) / 1000 x 100
= 990/ 1000 x 100
= 0.99 x 100
= 99 percentile.
