I got 75% in 10th, 75% in 12th, 55.38% with B.Sc maths hons and four and a half years of work experience. How much cat percentile should I aim to score to get into one of the top 20 b schools in India?
Ok Shreya, Let's start from the basics. There are certain misconceptions everyone has while coming to CAT Percentile.
If you consider top Institutes like IIM A,B,C,L,Kozi, Indore. FMS, XLRI then there are certain rules which they follow for the Initial Calling and final Selection. Each and everything as certain weightage like for FMS Delhi, 100% weightage is given to CAT percentile while Initial Calling and for Final Selection, 60% to the CAT score, 10% to X and Xii and 25% to GD and PI. Sometimes they conduct Extempore too.
Top IIM's follows different rules, 60 to 70% weightage is given to CAT score for the Initial Calling and then for the final Selection 50-60% is given to GD and PI while work exp. is given a mere 5 to 10% only( during Final Selection).
So, you need to get 99+ percentile to stand anywhere.
