Dont worry about normalization. It will be taken care by IIMs.

Regarding FMS, I can't comment on this, depending on the toughness you are stating.

I can only share the last years cutoff with you ie 98.73%ile.

Your QA attempts seems to be less, but can never know, may be you got the toughest paper. Let someone else take this query

Hey I am a CAT Aspirant who gave an exam a couple of days back. I am interested in HR as an option but haven't found a lot of info on pagalguy.. Can sum1 plz lemme know abt the best colleges for HR through CAT.? I know TISS and XLRI are the best..Symbiosis is also good.. And I have come across MDI and IMT in delhi as good colleges for HR...Can some1 rank/review them plz?

XLRI is easily the best of the lot. I think TISS has a specialised HR course. More people would prefer MDI over IMT.

@knight-fury There is no harm in applying. Better safe than sorry. Moreover, the concept of normalization is best understood by Prometric only, so do not worry much as you are done with your exam. Still going by your attempts you should be securing at least 90 percentile. Do apply to TAPMI, LBS, FORE, BIM-Trichy, KJSOM too as that will keep your options open. Give your best shot in the remaining exams. All the best :)

Sure about your accuracy in both the sections ?? You know how many are correct. Great. Answers keys are out I guess. 58 + 47 = 105. Somewhere around 99 honi chaiye percentile.
