CAT 2020 Result - Calculation of Scaled Scores

IIM CAT result contain section wise scaled and overall scaled scores of candidate. Scaled score of each section for CAT result 2020 are calculated as follows.

Calculation of CAT scaled score - Example

Step 1: Calculate the mean & standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in the VARC section for all candidates who are appear in the morning shift.

Let Mean be M1

Let SD be S1

Therefore, G1 = M1 + S1

Step 2: Calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in VARC section for all candidates who are appear in the afternoon shift.

Let Mean be M2

Let SD be S2

Therefore, G2 = M2 + S2

Step 3: Calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in the VARC section for all candidates who are appear for(both morning and afternoon shifts).

Let Mean be M

Standard Deviation be S

Therefore, G = M + S

Step 4: Now calculate the mean raw score in the VARC section of the top 0.1% candidates who are appear in the morning shift & denote it by 𝑀1 0.1

Step 5: Similarly, calculate the mean raw score in the VARC of top 0.1% candidates in the afternoon shift & denote it by 𝑀2 0.1

Step 6: Now calculate the mean raw score in the VARC of the top 0.1% candidates appearing in CAT for both morning and afternoon shifts and denote it by 𝑀0.1. Arrive at scaled sectional score for CAT 2020 result.

Calculate the respective scaled sectional score in a similar manner for remaining two sections. The total scaled score for CAT results are the sum of scaled scores of all three sections i.e. QA, VARC, and DILR.

i.e. Total CAT scaled score = QA scores + VARC scores + DILR scores

CAT Result 2020 - Percentile Calculation

To calculate the CAT percentile 2020, the scaled scores is used. The process of calculating percentile for CAT 2020 result remain the same for all sections. The more the percentile the greater will be the chances of selection. The given below process will be used by IIM Indore to calculate CAT 2020 percentile

Step 1: Take the total number of candidates who appeared for CAT in morning, afternoon, and evening shifts.

Total no. of candidates = N

Step 2: Assign rank = R, on the basis of the scaled scores obtained by candidates in VARC (can take any of the three) sections of all candidates who will appear for CAT 2020. If two or more candidates will obtain identical scaled scores in the VARC section, identical ranks will be assigned to them.

For example, if two candidates obtain the highest scaled score in the VARC section, then both candidates will be assigned rank 1.

Candidate(s) obtaining the second-highest scaled score in the VARC section will be assigned a rank of 3.

Step 3: Now calculate the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank (r) in the VARC section as shown in the picture below:

Step 4: Now round off the calculated percentile score (P). This can be done up to two decimal points. For example, all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.995 will be rounded off to 99.
