Hi,
You can have maximum 4 attempts in a year.

For OBC category,it's around 80 percentile.

Required CAT cutoff is difficult to predict but past records suggest that if you have scored above 93-94 percentile you have a fair chance.

Your 10th & 12th grade do carry some weightage but still you have a chance with good XAT/CAT score.

Hi,
You can try for these exams as you prepare for CAT side by side:
MAT
XAT
NMAT
GMAT
Symbiosis's exam
Even you can try for banking exam as well for banking job.
All the best!

Hi,
Let me explain. If you get 80 percentile then it means that 80% students' performance is below you. In a way, you are amongst top 20 percentile students. Unlike percentage score which indicates your individual performance, percentile score indicates your relative performance vis a vis other candidates.
