98% of 150 is 147, but that is a different matter entirely from the 98th percentile.
The 98th percentile describes the top 2% of people that are evaluated, not their performance on the test. Without knowing how the group performs on the test (and this will vary by group and testing-event) an answer cannot be provided.

It purely depends on how others have performed for that same exam. If the top 2% have scored on an average 30 out of 150 then scoring above 30 will see you in 98th percentile+.
Not to confuse you. It cant be said! But if you look at the historical movement. A decent score of above 120 is usually amongst the 95%ile. Try to be above 130 for safer grounds!
Best of Luck!

.98 X 150 = 147. You could also phrase the question "What is 98% of 150?" From there it will be easy to find the score you will need. First, 98% is changed to a decimal form, .98, by dividing 98 by 100. Next, the word "of" translates to multiplication in this type of percent problem. Good luck.

If do not know this simple calculation, how will you get 98 percentile in GATE

it depends on the standard deviation/variance. if you have that number, then you'd be able to calculate the z-score, or (150-x)/standard deviation = 0.98, and then find x
