How is CAT Percentile Calculated?
The calculation of the CAT percentile includes three steps:
As per the CAT exam pattern over the years, three marks are awarded for each correct answer and one mark is deducted for every incorrect answer. No marks are deducted for wrong answers in non-MCQ-type questions.
Steps to Calculate IIM CAT Percentile
- Each candidate’s score is first evaluated section-wise and then the overall score is arrived at by totaling the section-wise scores.
- Thereafter, these section-wise and overall scores (raw scores) are normalized to arrive at a scaled CAT score.
- The normalized scores are converted into percentiles which are reported on the CAT scorecard 2022.
CAT Percentile Calculation 2022
To calculate the CAT percentile 2022, scaled scores are used. The process of calculating percentiles for the CAT result 2022 remains the same for all sections. The more percentile the greater will be the chances of selection. The given below process will be used to calculate CAT 2022 percentile.
Step 1: Take the total number of candidates who appeared for IIM CAT in the 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 2022. 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 CAT 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 below:
- P=((N-r)/ N )*100
Step 4: Now round off the calculated percentile score (P). This can be done up to two decimal points. For example, all CAT 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.
What is the CAT Normalization Process?
As the CAT for the MBA exam is conducted in different slots, a normalization process is used wherein the marks of every candidate are scaled in order to bring equity to the marking process. The normalization process of CAT is an established practice followed over the years to assess the performance of a candidate across multiple sessions.
What are the parameters taken into consideration for CAT normalization?
