Cracking CAT isn’t just about hitting a 99+ overall it’s about clearing every section.
One weak area, and even a 99 percentile can miss the shortlist.

Top IIMs like A, B, C, and L expect 75-85 percentile per section, while newer IIMs sit around 65-75.
That’s the real game balance beats brilliance in one section.

So as you prep, don’t just aim for the total aim for consistency across VARC, DILR, and QA.
Because one low section can shut the IIM door?
