Is 99 percentile required to get into any of the IIM through CAT exam for GENERAL candidates?
Hi
Actually, CAT percentile required to get a call depends upon a number of factors like
****** like number of candidates appearing in CAT
****** difficulty level of CAT
****** your academic background
****** work experience
****** gender diversity
****** academic diversity etc
Anyway,
As per past year trends,
Yes, to get into top iims like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta, you should target at least 99 percentile in CAT exam while to get mediocre IIMS, you need to target at least around 95 percentile , while for baby IIMS you should target at least around 92 percentile.
