How is CAT Result 2019 calculated?

CAT 2019 is a computer based test held in two sessions. To ensure equivalence of both the sessions, a process of normalization will be used to arrive at the scores.The CAT 2019 normalization procedure will be as follows:

• Normalisation process used will adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms.
• Once normalisation is done across different forms, the scores obtained will be further normalised across different sections to arrive at the scaled scores..
• The next step is to convert these scaled scores into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting.
  In the CAT 2019 result, the scaled scores for each section (Section I: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Section II: Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Section III: Quantitative Ability (QA))with the total scaled scores willbe published.
• The Total scaled scores is obtained by adding the scaled scores of these three sections
• The Percentiles will also be published in the result of CAT 2019.
  

Calculation of CAT 2019 Scaled Score of a candidate

The following steps are used to calculate the scaled score of a section mentioned in CAT result 2019. The overall scaled score is obtained by adding the scaled scores of the three sections in CAT exam. Here the QA section is used as an example.

Step 1: Calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in QA section for all candidates appearing in the morning session.
Let Mean = M₁ and SD = S₁ and G₁ = M₁ + S₁.

Step 2: Calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in QA section for all candidates appearing in the afternoon session.
Let Mean = M₂ and SD = S₂ and G₂ = M₂ + S₂.

Step 3: Calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in QA section for all candidates appearing in CAT 2019 (both morning and afternoon sessions).
Let Mean = M and SD = S and G = M + S.

Step 4: Calculate mean raw score in QA section of the top 0.1% candidates in the morning session and denote it by 𝑀₁ ^0.1.

Step 5: Calculate mean raw score in QA of top 0.1% candidates in the afternoon session and denote it by 𝑀₂ ^0.1.

Step 6: Calculate the mean raw score in QA of top 0.1% candidates appearing in CAT (both morning and afternoon session) and denote it by 𝑀^0.1.

Example:

This will be the process to be followed for all the three sections - QA, VARC and DILR. The total scaled score will be the sum of these three.

Calculation of CAT 2019 Percentile Score

The scaled scores as computed above are taken for calculation of the percentiles of the candidates as mentioned in the result of CAT 2019. The QA section has been taken for illustration purposes and it must be noted that the procedure for the remaining sections as well as the total percentile. The process is as follows

Step 1: Calculate the total number of candidates (N) who appeared for CAT (both morning and afternoon sessions).

Step 2: A rank (r), will be assigned on the basis of the scaled scores obtained in the QA section to all candidates who appeared for the exam. If two or more candidates obtain identical scaled scores in the QA section, identical ranks will be assigned to them. For example if two candidates obtain the highest scaled score in the QA section, then both these candidates will be assigned a rank of 1. Next the candidate(s) obtaining the second highest scaled score in the QA section will be 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 given below:
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 will be rounded off to 100. Similarly all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.985 but strictly less than 99.995 will be rounded off to 99.99 and so on.
