A percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. For example, the 99th percentile in CAT means that 99% of candidates who appeared in CAT are below the person who is at 99 percentile. You can also say that is among top 1% of candidates who appeared for CAT. Marks required to achieve 99 percentile varies every year as per variation of candidates performance.

Hello Kirti!
With such low scores, it is impossible to get a good college. I suggest you reappear for these(and/or any other exams) and try to get a better score. Good luck!

If you want to pursue MBA from a reputed college, you should prepare yourself for the entrance exams conducted for the same. Reputed B-schools look into your CAT and other similar exam's percentile and give you admission on the basis of it. Other colleges make it mandatory for you to score at least 50% of your graduation degree to grant you admission in MBA.

Hello Maria!
The cut-offs of all top colleges through CAT exam is generally 95+ percentile. So, you cannot get a good college with a low score of 75-80 percentile. And the colleges you might get at that score won't be good choices for pursuing MBA.

The test scores a candidate on the bases of Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability (VA) and Reading Comprehension (RC), Data Interpretation (DI) and Logical Reasoning (LR). The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) started this exam and use the test for selecting students for their business administration programs.

Hello Tani,
Getting MBA from IIM's is totally different than PG in quantitative economics. I would strongly advise you to go full heartedlly for preparing for CAT. If I may add why not prepare for civil services examination? One year in life, even if you don't qualify, is nothing compared to the satisfaction you will always have of attempting something that you wanted. Go ahead for CAT.
