CAT 2025 has come to an end and the admission process has begun. While 26 candidates achieved 99.99%ile only 12 cracked the CAT 2025 exam with 100% marks. If you have scored a few marks less than the required cutoff, you have to make a difficult choice. Will you repeat the CAT exam in 2026 to score a higher percentile in the range of 90 to 100 or take a college based on the current percentile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of the top IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta, you will need a CAT percentile above 75. Students who wish to study at top management colleges but don\u2019t want to spend another year preparing for the exam, need proper guidance on what to do next. Most importantly, those who were able to score a decent percentile in CAT 2025 but are unsure if they should take admissions this year or repeat CAT 2026 to score higher next year also require a careful analysis of their situation before making a firm decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
