Fore avg is not 8? it says 8 on website.. :\

@nikks15 Well you can go by those official figures, but as far as I know, it includes the international placements also, that's why its higher. But then again, it might be close to that also, because the salary packages for many people changed after they joined. I myself can vouch for that, because mine changed! :)

Sorry for asking the similar question twice!
Bhai ur Comments!
My Profile:
Xth-75.2% (ICSE)
XIIth-70.2% (ISC)
B.Tech EC: 58.24%

CAT Attempts : QADI- 18 (In worst case I am sure of at least 12 to be correct)
VALR- 23 (In worst case I am sure of at least 15 to be correct)

Would could be the range of Percentile: (Worst Scenario)- ?
College to be applied at least now-?

@HAKUNAMATATAAAA Do you seriously think that requires an answer?!! If he/she is sure about the 100% accuracy then its a 95+ %tile for sure. Rest @avinashkrjha will be able to guide you better, as I'm not following CAT by daily slots and difficulty levels in each.
@ajaygovindg i am thinking to answer only 25 in each section, is that a good strategy, because i am hoping to leave 5 tough questions in each section because of normalisation..so i could be in 99percentile range, whats your opinion

My profile-


10th- 88.2%
12th-80.2%
Btech-71%(Fresher)

CAT -31st Oct Morng Slot
Quant-18 attempts with most probably 1 wrong
VA+LR- 23 attempts with maximum 2 wrong

I have applied to MDI only..
should i apply to other colleges too with this sort of performance?

if my maths is right, thats a 110 raw score, last year ~105 fetched >99%, this time toughness has gone up, so u should get >99.5 at least
@krum boss....this is my first CAT so i have no clues regarding scoring and normalization...i made no guesses in quant and fr LR am pretty sure all 3 sets fr correctly done....although there could be 1-2 errors in VA....bt i came to knw that >99% was for more than 20 correct attempts in both the sections...so am a little confused applying fr other colleges

its not like that, no matter how easy a slot, a 100+ raw score is 99+ anytime
