You should score above 90 percentile in CAT exam to pursue MBA in a good B-school. -
It depends upon the college. Lots of colleges consider different CAT cutoffs, but if you want to get a good college then try to score high, but for IIMs 99 percentile is required. -
Cut-off depends on your choice if you want to get admission in the best institute. If that is the case, cut-off is too high.
-
Every institute, or to be precise, each IIM has its own selection criteria. Different cutoffs are there. However, getting 90 percentile will fetch you calls from good B-Schools, but not IIM's. -
It depends on which University you wants to go, if you want to pursue MBA from IIMS, then the cutoff will be 99% percentile, and if you wants to do MBA from other universities, then they have their own cut off. -
