I have written CAT and expecting more than 90 Percentile. Please tell top management clgs which are accepting CAT score for PHD/FPM.
That usually means that each interviewing panel is free to ascertain these abilities from each candidate and the overall CAT score or other requirements are a function of the combined presentation of other candidates. However, given the general increasing level of competition, it may not be safe to go into any CAT related exam / interview or evaluation with an under 90 Percentile score. If you do, you should have a capable defense of your considerations, why you think a lower score is enough for you to pursue a Phd and the general level of capabilities of your peers must also be sufficiently whittled (rofl) so that your scores may shine in comparison.
IIMB has for example pursued a RAT to move away from a CAT specific evaluation of all incoming candidates but includes critical subject matter from Economics and Game theory as well as calculus to ascertain basic skills for FPM. Most Operations and DS areas conduct tests at different campuses or the RAT prior to FPM interviews because of their perceived unique requirements from candidates in terms of technical skills. IIMC also favors an additional round of qualitative or quantitative RAT to ensure no dependence on candidates CAT scores than the reading of basic aptitude and ability to cope with coursework
Thanks,

A percentile above 90 is a really good score in CAT. Every college has a different criteria for selecting students for FPM program.
They also have sectional cutoffs for the same. If you have already applied for the FPM programs of IIMs, they would be the best ones to choose. You can also look at other colleges like XLRI, Amity etc for the FPM program.
