How is CAT Result 2017 Computed?

According to the marking scheme of CAT, each question carries three marks. For every wrong answer, there is negative marking of one mark. However, negative marking scheme is not applicable for the non-MCQs.

CAT 2017 Percentile

The officials declare CAT 2017 result in form of percentile. A percentile is a measure used to indicate the value below which a given percentage of test takers fall. On the basis of CAT percentile, a candidate will be shortlisted for admissions in IIMs and other top B-schools. The CAT 2016 percentile is calculated on the basis of the CAT normalisation process adopted by the IIMs.

Last year, as many as 1.95 lakh candidates had appeared for the exam. Based on the result, we bring to you the number of candidates who scored zero in each section and overall in the table below.

CAT Normalisation Process

• CAT uses Normalisation process to ensure fairness and equity in comparison of performances of the candidates across different test sessions. CAT Normalisation is a sort of percentile equivalence method similar to that used for calculating scores of GATE.

• The process adjusts location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms. After adjusting the normalisation across different forms, the scores are further normalised across different sections.

• Under the term ‘Equating’, scores will be normalised across all the sections. These normalised scores will be converted into percentile to shortlist the candidates who will get an IIM admission call.

• For purposes of reporting, Scaled Scores for each section (Section I: Verbal and Reading Comprehension, Section II: Quantitative Ability and Section III: Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning) and Total along with the Percentiles will be published.

CAT Cutoff 2017
