Mumbai has the highest 99 percentile scorers (180) among all the other metros in the CAT 2012 results.
This is followed by followed by Delhi (168), Bangalore (157), Hyderabad (105), Kolkata (92) and Chennai (85).
A total of 1.9 lakh candidates appeared in the 21-day long testing window from October 11, 2012 to November 6, 2012.
Ten students got 100 percentile scores, one of them is studying science at Delhi University and the remaining belong to the engineering discipline. Eight of these students are from IITs. Five of the 10 students are still in their final year of graduation.
Four girls scored 99.99 percentile, the highest score from among the girls. All of them are engineering students in their final year from Karnataka, Odisha, Delhi and UP. In all 255 girls and 1,640 boys scored more than 99 percentile.
“CAT 2012 is significant as there is an increase in registrations, for the first time since moving to a computer-based testing platform. The growth in registrations is all encompassing – cutting across the categories and gender.
“The number of girls registering and appearing for the test showed a considerable uptrend. This development might be seen as a response to the gender diversity in classrooms being sought by most IIMs.
“In addition, candidates from lesser privileged sections of the society are also registering in increasing numbers and excelling in the test,” said Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM Kozhikode.
