AC compressor frequently turns on and off. Like for 3 minutes it cools and then for next 4 minutes it gets turn off, and this cycle keeos repeating. I am using at 27 degree. Is it normal? I googled this problem and came to know about short cycling. Anyone has any idea about this?

Try to change the temperature to another lower e.g. 22 or 25 and check for the intervals. If it’s still the same, then maybe it’s another issue. Compressor, gas, outside inside temp deff, exhaust space.. anything. You need a mechanic to know the exact issue as it’s not a diy one.

Care to share the model and year of purchase?

Carrier superia Cyclojet 2018 3 star. I will try to set it on lower temperature in day time and record the time. But is it normal to frequently switch at higher temperature? Also when compressor is on, it make little noisy sound

Seems normal only !
For increasing cycle time follow this. It may help to some extent.
Check room vents & avoid metal wardrobes.. if there is any big air vents/gaps nearby doors the cool air escapes out and ac will starts its cycle to make cooler.
Cover sun exposure from room windows with thick cloth
Dont operate ceiling fan and ac simultaneously.. ceiling fan air will evaporates the moisture from ac air.

Its normal. If you dont want it to turn off then set lower temp or upgrade to a inverter ac.
