class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Raman sat for the CAT and secured 99.49%ile in his very first attempt. His hard work, dedication, and 9 months of consistency landed him straight into IIM Lucknow &amp; IIM Kozhikode. The CAT topper\u2019s success story from being an aspirant to a converted student at IIM Lucknow &amp; IIM Kozhikode was not smooth. He had his own share of unfortunate mishaps and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Preparation_Journey\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Preparation Journey<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Raman Khudia started on this journey in March 2025, allowing him only nine months to reach the end goal. What we normally think is a very short time was enough for him with the right guidance and proper utilisation of the preparation clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, along the way came its fair share of turbulence. Medical issues slowed him down. College work pulled his attention away. There were days when preparation felt like a distant priority. Yet, Raman kept coming back to his study table, his notes, and his practice sets. Not because every day was productive, but because he refused to give up on the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where Others Fail, But CAT Topper Raman Didn\u2019t!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That consistency, though imperfect, interrupted but persistent, is what eventually made the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-scoreboard-detailed-overview\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Scoreboard_Detailed_Overview\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Scoreboard, Detailed Overview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sections<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Scaled Score<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Percentile<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DILR<\/td><td>23.86<\/td><td>96.83<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VARC<\/td><td>44.67<\/td><td>99.17<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>QA<\/td><td>24.39<\/td><td>98.34<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Overall<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>92.93<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>99.49<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toppers_Takeaway_to_the_CAT_2026_Aspirants\"><\/span><strong>Topper&#8217;s Takeaway to the CAT 2026 Aspirants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we analyse the CAT topper&#8217;s scoreboard, DILR was his weakest section with 96.83%ile, however, his overall score was 99.49%ile. This highlights that if you score a little less in one section, it will not decrease your overall percentile, given that you have a strong hold in the other two sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest takeaway is that you don&#8217;t need to score 99+%ile in every section. Crossing 96 &#8211; 97%ile in your weakest section while pushing 98 &#8211; 99%ile in the other two is a perfectly viable path to 99+ overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estimated Targets for 99%ile in CAT 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sections&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Estimated Safe Scaled Score&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DILR<\/td><td>22 &#8211; 25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VARC<\/td><td>42 &#8211; 45<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>QA<\/td><td>23 &#8211; 26<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Overall&nbsp;<\/td><td>88 &#8211; 95<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Preparation_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Preparation Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">VARC:<\/mark><\/strong> Raman found his edge in one key technique that is POE, or Process of Elimination.
