Dear Student,

According to the previous year trends, generally the cutoff for Nirma University MBA courses is around 78-85 percentile. Although predicting any accurate percentile score is not possible as every year it depends upon various factors.

Good Luck :)

Hi,

To calculate CAT percentile, the CAT score is required and then the percentile is calculated depending on the number of students who gave the exam and also the scores attained by them. The XAT percentile is irrelevant in calculating cat percentile. Also the 10th, 12th and graduation marks only matter during evaluation of personal interview and also shortlisting candidates for PI and then for final admission.

I hope this helps.

All the best.

Assuming your are a General Category Aspirant, from Engineering Background, having a strong academic record, you should secure atleast anywhere around 99 Percentile, to secure a Call from one of the IIMs as well as between 98-99 for CAP. Incase you are Targetting IIM ABC, you need to raise your targets to anywhere above 99.5+ for better chances and prospects.

Hi Dear,

Yes, you need to clear sectional cut off as well as overall cut off for admission into Indian Institute of Managements of India. The cut off varies every year and it is also to be kept in mind that mere clearing cut offs does not guarantee admission in IIMs. The final selection is made on the basis of other factors beside CAt score like performance in GD/WAT/ PI and overall academic profile of the student along with work experience.

Good Luck

Hi

Actually, your CAT score and CAT percentile are completely two different things

-) your CAT percentile tells you your position among those who have appeared in CAT examination  while your cat score is the total marks obtained by you in the CAT examination

Your CAT Score is simply the sum  of the marks obtained by you in all 3 sections of CAT i. e
- Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension ,
- Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning ,
- Quantitative Ability

-)Your CAT percentile is the   total percentage of students who have scored less than or equal to your score.

For example,
if you get 92 percentile,  it means that your performance was better than 92 per cent of the total candidates that appeared in  CAT examination .

Let us have an example, just to understand easily , let's say CAT exam is of 100 marks, 1000 students write the CAT examination, you get 80 marks out of 100 marks and you get 10th rank in CAT examination.

Then your percentile,

P = (N- r) / N   x 100 ,
where  P is your percentile , N is the number of student that appeared in CAT.

= (1000 - 10) / 1000   x 100
= 990/ 1000 x 100
= 0.99 x 100
= 99 percentile.

I hope that this clears all your doubts
