You have posted this same query 3 or 4 times.

I do not know why you are doing so even after getting the reply every time.

Would suggest you not to repeat now.. !!

@avinashkrjha bhai dar lag rha hai... soch rha huun diffrnt log reply krnge to pata lagega ki precntile kya aa skti hai
Suggest you not to repeat now and not to be scared.

No one can predict the %ile for sure. And it won't change anyways now.

It's time to move on now and focus on other Exams if you have registered for them. If not, then start preparing for your GD/PI.

All the Best.

@avinashkrjha what is the last date to apply for simsree (synhedam) mumbai ??i couldn't find it on their website
Their admissions will be through DTE.

DTE is expected to come up with it's notification in the month of December/January.. !!

My Raw score would be between 80-90 in CAT

Will be giving MAT XAT and SNAP a go..
Im a B.E. final year student with good acads, co curriculars and extra curriculars.. Have to do MBA this year surely.. Xat is on Jan 6th which will be the last.. Ive planned to apply for colleges from Mid Jan..

And My Questions are
* Is Mid-Jan too late to start? Coz I thought of applying after the Results..
*Please suggest some colleges which I can apply to which will lie in my percentile region.. Preferably down south.. Other Regions are okay if I dont have any good Options here..
* My last resorts would be VIT-BS,Chennai and SRM B school Chennai if I dont get any good college.. Any Idea how these two colleges are?

1. You can expect a %ile of 82-90 as per last year's trends.

2. Mid-Jan won't be late, but you will have lesser pool of colleges.

3. Right now, apply to -->
FORE
LBS
NIRMA

4. AFter Results, you can apply to -->
TAPMI
BIM-T
NIT-T
NIT-K
XIME
LIBA etc as per your CAT %ile.

5. VIT, SRM --> Join these colleges only if doing MBA is a compulsion. Else, not recommended.. !!

@avinashkrjha

Thanks a lot :)

Will IFMR,Chennai and Great Lakes Institute have a cut off above 85-90 percentile? Are they good?
@AJSAM92 I have the same doubt about when to start applying.. There are so many colleges ( generally the top ones) whose deadline to apply is before the cat results.. eg for FMS its last week of dec..and there are many others too... Hope to get my doubts cleared when i give it again next yr as am not going to take mba this year!! may be some1 who has gone through this phase will tell u better.. But yess there are many colleges in tier 2 and 3 which starts application process after d results so really depends on the college u want!!
And i don't have any experience in this at all but with raw score of 90 u wud be anywhere from 80 to 85 or if normalization helps u, u mite just reach 90!!
hello all..this was my second attempt @ CAt..

@ankan14

No cat doesn't do that as far as i know...someone else has done that and this happens a lot so get used to it...i myself have been receiving a number of calls from blah blah blah people :P

To be true your attempts and accuracy shocked me 😛 and YES with that number of correct attempts you will definitely be in the 99.xx club :thumbsup:

I gave the same slot as well :mg: you can expect around 98 %ile...

98?? 😞 given that cat was tough this yr, do i have any chance of 99?? i dont want a %ile below 99...
@james_khan said:
98??
Well thats just an assumption...you can even get 99+ or 97 too depending on the normalization done 😃 so don't be disheartened you have got a great score so start preparing for the GD/PI:)
