Dear Student,
CAT percentile is calculated using the formula “( 1 - All India Rank(Total Candidates in the Exam) * 100%”. You can understand this by example. Suppose 100 students appeared in the exam and you ranked 2nd then there are 98 students who have ranked below you. In that case, your percentile will be calculated as (98/100)x100 = 98 %tile. You must note that the CAT scorecard will show the final percentile up to two decimal places only. Those who have scored more than 98 percentile in the exam will have higher chances of getting a call from IIMs.
You may also get a call from some of the other popular MBA colleges in India such as FIIB, New Delhi, Pearl Academy, New Delhi, ASM Delhi, IITM Delhi and Athena School Of Management, Mumbai.
You can also check some articles provided below to know the colleges accepting 90 percentile, 80 percentile and so on.
