Hello,
To pursue MBA from any reputed B-school, one needs to score at least 50% marks in one's graduation or engineering. And there is no age limit for giving the CAT. Since many of these B-schools take the past academic scores seriously while giving admission to the candidates, the higher one scores during graduation, the better it would be. -
It depends on which college you want to go for. IIM-A, B, C mostly go for 98 percentile and above while baby IIMs still have 90 percentile as their cut off. IITD has a 95percentile cutoff. IITR have 93-95 percentile cutoffs. But one thing you should keep in mind, they all have sectional cutoffs too. So work hard on all 3 sections individually. Then we have IMIs and IMT G with little low cutoffs to aim for.
