The worthiness of CAT percentile depends on the MBA college you want to take admission into. For a Tier 1 B-School, 95 + percentile is a good score, whereas for a Tier 2 institute, 80-90 percentile is a good score. Admission cut offs of the Iims are always 95 percentile and above.
Thumbs Up IconUpvote Thumbs Down Icon

Q:   What is the difference between CAT score and CAT percentile?

A: 

CAT score is the total marks a candidate receives out of the maximum marks, calculated by subtracting the marks of incorrect answers from the marks of correct answers. For every correct answer, +3 is given to the candidates, for every incorrect -1 is deducted from the overall score. Apart from this, a candidate's rank is calculated by normalizing the scores of all candidates and placing them on a common scale. It is important to understand the difference between CAT score and CAT percentile because IIMs and all MBA colleges in India select candidates on the basis of their CAT and other MBA related exam percentiles and not score. The CAT percentile is referred to as the rank of a candidate against the rest of the test takers. The percentile indicates the total percentage of candidates who scored less than or equal to a particular candidate in CAT.

LPU is one of the best universities in terms of faculty, extracurricular activities and placements.
Placements: Placements in our college are very good, especially the on-campus placements. I got placed in a reputed MNC named Poly Medicure. The placement drives conducted are very student-friendly. The teachers and mentors are very helpful. They provide a vision for campus placements. The salary packages offered are very attractive, especially in the MBA stream, and it varies depending on your skills. They also provide a platform for students to do internships.
Infrastructure: LPU provides exposure to every student both in academic as well as co-curricular activities. Wi-Fi facilities in LPU are very good. Classrooms are neat and equipped with projectors. LPU has a huge central library where students can find any book. The library also has computers for internet surfing and research purposes. LPU students are always engaged with several sports activities and showcase their talent. Duty leaves are provided to those students to cover up the academic loss if any.
Faculty: Faculty members in the college are very good and are friendly. They are helpful. They all are highly qualified with a PhD in their respective subjects. They show gratitude towards students and are always willing to help students. If students have any complaint, they can say it to their respective class mentor. They can help in resolving the queries of students. Faculty members also help the students in preparing for various competitive exams.
Other: The campus crowd is increasing day by day. But, it is a good opportunity to meet students from different fields and different cultures. Scholarships are provided to every student, and it is known as LPU-NEST. It is quite easy to get and can give fees reimbursement to all. One India and other such events are organised by LPU on a large scale for students to enjoy the cultural diversity and to remember our cultural heritage.

There are good libraries, and all the basic facilities are available in the labs which are required for teaching. Good quality food at affordable prices. The campus has its hospital room which is not up to the mark and is crowded. For girls, the highly secure environment is available.
Faculty: The faculty members are very responsive and are very attentive towards the students, and a well-organised syllabus. The teachers follow the course curriculum very strictly. The teachers prepare ppts for better understanding. Regular industrial visits are organised. The syllabus is more than for a man to handle.
