I got 67% in 10th, 79% in 12th and 54% in graduation. How much should I score in CAT, MAT and XAT to get a decent MBA college?

The first point, I would like to make here, is your percentage is in no way an indicator of your intelligence. Coming to the PGDM program, you have to essentially focus on pursuing your PGDM, from the top 30 B Schools in India. It is only then, that your degree will be valued and respected by the corporate world. These B Schools accept only CAT scores. There is nothing great about the CAT exam. It is purely a hype. You have to aim at scoring a minimum of 98 percentile in the CAT exam. Being a CAT trainer, for the last 15 years, putting in two hours of focused study daily for three months, is more than enough. Believe in yourself and take it up as a challenge.

Hi Priti, Since your class 10th and graduation marks are low, you need to score a high percentile. I think, percentile above 85 will be good for you. But, try to score more than that. But, don't be tensed about it. Concentrate and focus on the preparation of exams. All the best.

Since your 10th and graduation marks are on the lower side, you have to compensate it with good marks in the entrance exams. In any exam, a percentile above 80 is considered as a good score to get short-listed by decent MBA colleges.

Hello Ma’am, Please don't be stressed on how much marks you will score in CAT, XAT, CMAT, etc. You should focus on the learning part. Yes, scoring well in these entrance exams will lead you to Top 20 MBA colleges of India. But after all, it will be performance in your job that you do in future. As your academics are not that good, you have to nail your day and night for preparation if you’re willing to be a part of Top MBA colleges of India. Score of more than 90% is sufficient to get a decent college in India.
