CAT Results 2015: these are the ones who scored a 100 percentile

The results of Common Admission Test (CAT) 2015 have been declared and are now available on the website iimcat.ac.in. Around two lakh students from across the country sat for the exam and only a select few have been able to grab the top position.

Albeit, IIM Ahmedabad has not announced the list of toppers officially, it is estimated that around 16-18 students have scored a 100 percentile.

It is observed that most of the CAT toppers or MBA students from prestigious institutes like IIM Ahmedabad come from an engineering background. However, this year the management tried to design the paper in a way which allows for a more diverse group of people to qualify for a seat in top colleges.

According to media reports, IIM A director Ashish Nanda asserted that there was a need to make sure that students from diverse backgrounds became a part of the institute. He said that this had to be done while ensuring that the quality was not compromised.

Out of the few 100 percentilers' of this year, here are a some candidates:

He came to India on 15 November, just 10 days before the exam. Apart from academics, he has excelled in other areas too. A CBSE school national level table tennis player, Prateek is a tech expert too.
