Hi
In common Admission Test, it is the percentile that matters. It is all about your performance in the exam. It is a great way to assess your performance where your marks are not directly involved to select you in the next round. Thus depending on the difficulty level of the exam, candidate having a score of 100 can also get 99+ %ile or sometimes 200 marks are not enough to get the same percentile. Even if you are considering scores to measure or asses your performance, then it depends on a lot of factors. It depends on the difficulty level of the paper, colleges which you want to target, college cut off etc. The percentile means the percentage of candidates who have scored marks less than you. Thus if 100 students gave the exam and you have a percentile of 90. Then, it means 90 students have scored marks less than the marks secured by you. Last year, the topper having 100 percentile had secured 232.32 marks in total. So, if you want to set a benchmark then atleast target 200+ to get admission in the top Iims. To get the percentile in 90s range, then the score of 120 will suffice.
