appeared in cat this morning. 15 attempts in section 1 and 28 attempts in section 2. what percentile can i expect guys?
Depends on your accuracy.

Assuming 80% accuracy, you can expect 90+
@ShuvamJoy said:
@dheelagyan ..accha tell me IIM Kozikode website showing that their cat cut off 85 percentile for general..is it true?IIM K in only 85 percentile+good acds?
It's not the cut off.

That is the minimum %ile for going to 2nd round. Actual cut off is very high..!!

@avinashkrjha thanks for the info

QA: 13 (90% accuracy)
VA: 17 (80% accuracy)
what %ile can i expect??

I attempted 13 in QA with 100% accuracy.

26 in VA with all 9 LR- correct and other questions with 75% accuracy.

I had taken the test on 2nd November afternoon slot and found QA extremely difficult especially DI questions which hampered the performance. What do you say I should expect ?
