CAT 2014 convenor Dr Rohit Kapoor told TOI that 16 people including a girl had scored 100 percentile this year. “While we are still to confirm how many of those who scored 100 percentile are from IITs, atleast 3-4 must be from these institutes.”
Last year eight students had managed to score 100 percentile. Also, ten people had scored in 99.99 percentile bracket, including a girl. On Neha’s performance Kapoor said: “We want to congratulate her for the achievement. It’s a rare distinction for girls on CAT. She has done remarkable well in both the sections of the test and we like to wish her success as we need women leaders. IIMs has in the recent years are trying to make the campuses more inclusive and in at least last three years more girls are scoring high in the test.”

To fellow female aspirants Neha’s advice is “Girls are as good as boys and always remember one who wins is the one who things we can. The moment they believe they can do there is no stopping them. They have to change their perception on themselves.”
Even as the results were announced, the students could not log on to see their scores since the total hits crossed one lakh, crashing the site.
This year some 1.68 lakh candidates had appeared for the CAT exam, a drop from the previous year. CAT registrations have steadily declined for the last couple of years.
This year the exam was held on two days, November 16 and 22.
