CAT Normalization Process 2024: Check Composite Score Formula

Edited By Himanshu Shekhar | Updated on Nov 26, 2024 04:00 PM IST | #CAT

The IIM CAT normalization process 2024 will be done to check that all the candidates are fairly assessed. IIM will release the CAT score only after completing the CAT 2024 normalization process. The CAT normalization process 2024 will be followed for the calculation of the CAT percentile of candidates before the release of the CAT result 2024. Though the question papers of CAT 2024 for all shifts are of the same difficulty level, there might be some discrepancies in terms of difficulty level. CAT normalization process standardizes performance metrics which makes it easier to compare scores from different test conditions. CAT 2024 exam date is November 24, 2024.

CAT Normalization Process 2024

There is a probability that candidates in one slot may get an easier CAT question paper than candidates in other slots. Due to this reason, IIMs adopt a CAT normalization process before releasing to ensure that no candidate faces discrimination in the final CAT scores in the CAT result 2024. This process of score normalization is meant to ensure rationality and veracity in the performance of candidates in the CAT exam. Read the complete article to know more about the CAT normalization process 2024.

What is the CAT Normalization Process 2024?

The entrance exam for CAT 2024 is conducted in a computer-based mode. To avoid any kind of discrimination in CAT results, the Indian Institute of Management follows the process of normalization for CAT 2024 which changes scale differences of score distributions across different forms.

The normalization process of CAT 2024 will be followed as an established practice that will compare the scores of candidates across different/various forms. The main purpose of the CAT 2024 normalization process will be that none of the candidates from either of the slots/ shifts get undue advantages or face disadvantages.

CAT Normalization Process 2024: How is it Conducted

The first normalization process of CAT 2024 will initially be applied to different forms, then the CAT scores will be further normalized across different sections. The normalization process has become a common trend and is widely used for almost all MBA entrance exams which are conducted in different slots/ shifts. The CAT normalization process 2024 will be conducted in two steps:

  • In the first step, IIMs adjust the exam scores for scale differences of distribution of the CAT scores in different forms.
  • In the second step, scores of different sections are normalized.

Scaled Normalized Marks: Calculation of CAT Scaled Scores

Complete details related to sectional scores and overall scaled scores will be mentioned in the result of CAT 2024. The below-mentioned steps will be followed by IIM in CAT result 2024, to calculate the normalized overall score in CAT for each section. Let us look at an example of how the scaled score is calculated for CAT 2024 and the normalization formula;

Step 1: First the mean & standard deviation (SD) will be calculated of the raw scores in the DILR section for all candidates who will appear in the morning shift

  • Let Mean = M1
  • Let SD = S1
  • Hence, G1 = M1 + S1

Step 2: Similarly, the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the candidates who will appear in the afternoon shift will be calculated from the raw scores in the same DILR section for all candidates.

  • Let Mean = M2
  • Let SD = S2
  • Hence, G2 = M2 + S2

Step 3: Now, calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in the DILR section for all candidates appearing in both morning and afternoon shifts.

  • Let Mean be M
  • The standard Deviation be S
  • Therefore, G = M + S

Step 4: Calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section of the top 0.1% of candidates who will appear in the first-morning shift. Denote the same by ?1 0.1

Step 5: Similarly, For the top 0.1% of candidates of the afternoon shift, calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section. Denote it by ?2 0.1

Step 6: Now For the top 0.1% of candidates who will appear in CAT 2024 for both morning and afternoon shifts, calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section. Denote the same by ?0.1.

A similar technique will be followed to calculate the scaled score of all three sections. i.e. Total scaled score = Sum of scaled scores of DILR, VARC, QA

How CAT exam score will be normalized and the composite score calculated?

The CAT 2024 composite score of each candidate is arrived at by calculating their points based on the following parameters.

  • CAT 2024 scaled score
  • Class 10th and 12th marks
  • Graduation score
  • Work experience
  • Diversity (Gender)
  • Diversity (Academic)

Check out the process of CAT composite score calculation for the shortlisting of students for the WAT-PI process by IIM Lucknow. The IIM L admission policy 2025 based on CAT 2024 will be announced soon on the official website.

How to Calculate CAT Percentile 2024?

IIM releases the percentile calculation method of CAT. The rank obtained by a candidate will be termed as CAT percentile 2024. Based on the scaled score, the percentile of CAT 2024 will be calculated. Candidates must understand how their CAT percentile 2024 will be calculated and ranks will be allotted to them through CAT 2024 score predictor and normalization.

A higher rank will be provided to those candidates who score more marks in all sections. If two candidates score similar marks in the VARC section, then in such case both of them will be given Rank 1. The CAT 2024 percentile score will be calculated based on a defined formula. After the normalization formula is implemented, there will be a need to round off the calculated percentile score (P) of a candidate up to two decimal points.

The following steps will be used with regard to the calculation of the CAT 2024 percentile. For example, the QA section is chosen to know how the CAT percentile is calculated and a similar process will apply to other sections as well.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of candidates (N) who appeared for CAT 2024 (i.e. including morning, afternoon, and evening sessions).

Step 2: Assign a rank (r), based on the scaled scores obtained in the QA section, to all candidates who appeared for the CAT exam 2024. If two or more candidates get identical scaled scores in the QA section, then the same rank will be awarded to all those candidates.

As an example, suppose two candidates obtain the highest scaled score in the QA section, then both of those candidates are assigned a rank of 1. Moreover, the candidate(s) obtaining the second-highest scaled score in the QA section are assigned a rank of 3 and so on.

Step 3: Calculate the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank (r) in the QA section as:

  • ? = ( (?−?) ? ) × 100

Step 4: Round off the calculated percentile score (P) of a candidate up to two decimal points.

For example, all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.995 are rounded off to 100, all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.985 but strictly less than 99.995 are rounded off to 99.99, and so on.

The method that is mentioned above is used for the computation of the overall CAT percentile scores and the percentile scores of other sections.

CAT Composite Score Calculator

To calculate the CAT 2024 composite score for each student, candidates can use a CAT 2024 score predictor or CAT composite score calculator for IIMs that takes into account the overall scaled score in CAT exam, the marks of 10th and 12th standard, the graduation score, the gender diversity, the academic diversity, and the work experience.

How to calculate composite score in CAT?

  • For IIM Kozhikode, your CAT composite score = 0.5*CAT Index Score + 0.15*Class 10 Score + 0.20*Class 12 Score + 0.1*Gender/Academic Diversity Score + 0.05*Work Experience Score.

* CAT composite score calculation value is different for each IIM.

CAT Result 2024

IIM is expected to announce the result of CAT 2024 in the third week of December 2024. CAT results will contain details related to the personal details of candidates, sectional scores obtained, percentile, as well as total, scaled score, and CAT percentile.

Candidates who will qualify will be called upon to take part in the further IIM admission process. CAT scores are accepted not only by the Indian Institute of Management but by various other top B-schools other than IIMs as well.

Hello there,

With a CRL rank of 1,53,000 and an EWS rank of 23,000 , it might be challenging to get a seat in CVR College of Engineering (CVRCE) for B.Tech through JEE Mains in the B Category (management quota) based on the typical cutoffs.

However, here are some considerations:

  1. B Category (Management Quota) : Generally, management quota seats may have a higher cutoff compared to regular seats, but they are still often more flexible.

  2. Specific Branch : You might have better chances in less competitive branches compared to high-demand ones like CSE or ECE . Branches like Mechanical , Civil , or Electrical might have slightly lower cutoffs.

    Recommended Steps:

  • Check Previous Cutoffs : Look at the last year's cutoff trends for the EWS category in CVR College of Engineering.

  • Direct Admission or Management Quota : You can inquire about direct admission or management quota options if you're considering alternatives.

  • Counseling and Choice Filling : During the counseling process, you can list CVRCE as one of your preferences to see if any seat becomes available.

It's best to contact the college directly or check their official admission guidelines for more precise information regarding your rank and the available options.



I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.



Thanks for the info! Let's break this down to see your chances in KCET Engineering :

  • Board Marks (PCM): 205 out of 300

  • Category: CAT-1 (reserved)

  • Exam: KCET 2025

  • Stream: Engineering (PCM)

KCET Rank Prediction:

  • With 60–70 marks in KCET and 205 in boards , your KCET engineering rank may fall roughly between 35,000 to 50,000 (approx, varies by year).

  • CAT-1 category gives you reservation benefit , which improves your chances significantly.

Colleges You Might Get (CSE or Other Branches):

CSE:

  • You might get CSE in:

    1. PES Mandya

    2. KSIT Bangalore

    3. AMC Engineering College

    4. Cambridge Institute of Technology

    5. RNSIT (maybe in later rounds)

Other Branches (more chances):

  • ECE, ME, Civil, IT in better colleges like:

    1. Dayananda Sagar College

    2. New Horizon College

    3. Acharya Institute

    4. Sapthagiri, SJBIT, etc.

Tips:

  1. Use option entry wisely during KCET counselling.

  2. List both CSE + other branches to improve chances.

  3. Keep track of mock allotments to adjust preferences.

Although, it's very unlikely that you will secure a seat in top ABM with CAT 67 percentile. Here's is a breakdown to your question:

· CAT Percentile vs. Score: A CAT score of 67 typically translates to a percentile in the range of 90-95 percentile based on the provided data from previous years. While this is a decent score overall, it falls short of the cutoffs for most top-tier ABM programs.

· Cutoffs for Top ABM Institutes:

  • IIM Lucknow: For their PGP-ABM program, the qualifying CAT cutoff for the general category is around 85 percentile . However, the actual cutoff for shortlisting for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) stages is likely to be higher.
  • IIM Ahmedabad: While they also offer an ABM program (PGP-FABM), their minimum qualifying CAT cutoff is around 80 percentile , but the final admission cutoffs are usually much higher, often in the 99+ percentile range for general candidates.
  • MANAGE (National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management): Their cutoff in CAT percentile has been around 70 for the general category in recent years. With a 67 percentile, you might have a slim chance here, but it's still competitive.
  • CCS NIAM (National Institute of Agricultural Marketing, Jaipur): They consider CAT scores with a significant weightage (30-51% in their selection criteria). While they don't explicitly state a cutoff, it's reasonable to assume it would be higher than 67 percentile for a good chance of admission.

· Overall Good CAT Score: Generally, a CAT percentile of 90 and above is considered a good score for securing admission to decent MBA programs in India. For top-tier institutes, a percentile of 95 and above is often preferred.

· MBA Colleges Accepting 60-70 Percentile: While there are MBA colleges that accept CAT scores in the 60-70 percentile range, these are generally not the top-ranked or most sought-after ABM programs. The focus of those lists is on general MBA programs, not specifically ABM.

While securing a seat in ABM can be tough, you can research about other colleges, consider other examinations, to improve your application profile.

Two friends Moloy and Niloy passed out from the Purulia Institute of Science and Technology with B.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering, but even after a year placement was hard to find. So they decided to take the challenge head-on, came down to Kolkata, rented a garage space on Park Street, and having an affinity towards making people enjoy good food, started their firm named 'B.Tech Bread-Omlette Wala'. 

They started with three items on the menu. One was the French Toast which could be prepared in 3 minutes. The second was the Egg Tortillas which took 15 minutes to prepare. Any one of Moloy and Niloy could prepare any one of them at a time. The third was the Egg Bhurji with French Fries. This however was prepared on an automated fryer which could prepare 3 servings at a time and took 5 minutes irrespective of the number of servings equal to or below 3. The fryer did not need anyone to attend to it, and the time to put in the raw ingredients could be neglected. So one could tend to the preparation of other items while the Egg Bhurji with French Fries were being prepared. 

They wanted to serve the orders as early as possible after the order was given. The individual items in any order were served as and when all the items were ready, and the order was then considered closed. None of the items on the menu were prepared in advance in anticipation of future orders. 

On the first day, 3 groups of customers came in and ordered at 6.00 pm, 6.10 pm, and 6.13 pm. The first order was for a plate of Egg Tortillas, two plates of French Toast, and three plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The second order was for a plate of French Toast and two plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The third order was for a plate of Egg Tortilla and a plate of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. 

On the backdrop of the above information answer the questions given :
