Hi Rupa,

Percentile in CAT is a very relative term, which changes every year, based on difficulty level of paper, number of students appear for the exam etc. Hence no one can give you the precise marks or number of questions to be attemped in CAT. However to gain a 98 percentile in CAT, you need to have a sectional cutoff of 95 percentile or more  in all the three sections, with a 99+ percentile in at least one section.

Good Luck
