Faculty: All our teachers are doctorates in their respective course from government universities. They will have only limited time tables, and their work stress is also less. They teach us with PPT presentations, etc. Our course curriculum is relevant. The syllabus is decided by centralised government body like ICAR, and their time table will be followed by our department.
Other: I have chosen this course as I am interested in agriculture, and I am also from an agriculture background. The best thing about this course is I find my happiness by helping farmers as I am a subject specialist. I can guide them in many positive ways for a better living. Weekly events will be conducted in our college, and the campus crowd will be more as it is a large private university. The campus has a nearby railway station, and also it is located on a highway thus bus facility will be easily available. Rechargeable autos are also available for our convenience within the campus. Scholarships will be applicable if you are a resident of Punjab, but other students can also avail scholarship by writing an entrance exam before joining the course.

Q:   How much percentile is a good score in CAT exam?

A: 
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.
