Hi sanjay, performance is relative so it's difficult to make absolute assumptions. However an overall score of 100+ out of 300 will surely fetch 85%ile+. And there are sectional cutoffs of 80%ile in each section to get through top B-schools, that are highly variable depending on difficulty level and performance of candidates. Score of 30 will get you 85%ile in quants while 20 score gets you 95%ile in DILR. DILR being tough is the latest years trend.

dear student,

See. First of all, there is no such thing like number of attempts. If you have prepared well in your first attempt itself you can get more than 90 percentile, leave apart 85. So instead of thinking in this way, start giving mocks analyse the. And prepare hard for the exam. Best of wishes

hope  it helps
