90 Marks in CAT 2025 means how much percentile expected

The expected percentile for 90 marks in CAT 2025 is around 99. It is considered a good score for securing MBA admission into some of the best IIMs. However, students with 90 marks in the CAT exam have a slim chance of getting into the top-tier IIM institutes. The ones that offer admission to students with the mentioned score include IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore and many others. While a 99th percentile is highly competitive for IIM admission, students above 99 percentile cutoff score usually have a better chance of getting shortlisted. Apart from this, one can also apply to other elite business schools like the FMS, SPJIMR, and MDI for MBA admission with 90 marks in the Common Admission Test.

However, it is important to note that students can still get into the top-tier IIMs with a 99th percentile score if they have strong factors like gender diversity for female candidates, a non-Engineering background, or 1-3 years of work experience. All in all, 99th percentile or 90 marks in CAT 2025 will definitely put a student into the list of top candidates among all other test-takers.
