7 years agoIf you are targeting the IIMs, then you should try to get a score above 95. For IIM A, B and C you try for 99+ score. You will also get good colleges at 90+ score but not the IIMs.
Good luck. -
Good college means top 25 colleges. For that you should target minimum 95 percentile.

7 years agoA score around 85-90+ percentile is good enough to get atleast a tier II B-School of India. Apart from this, some colleges have the criteria of sectional cut offs. So, never underestimate any section of CAT exam. Try to score high in all the sections.
