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

1. Each candidate’s score is first evaluated section-wise and then the overall score is arrived at by totaling the section-wise scores.
2. Thereafter, these section-wise and overall scores (raw scores) are normalized to arrive at a scaled CAT score.
3. The normalized scores are converted into percentiles which are reported on the CAT scorecard 2024.

CAT Percentile Calculation 2024

To calculate the CAT percentile 2024, scaled scores are used. The process of calculating percentiles for the CAT 2024 result remains the same for all sections. The more percentile the greater the chances of selection. The given below process will be used to calculate the CAT 2024 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, based on the scaled scores obtained by candidates in VARC (can take any of the three) sections of all candidates who will appear for CAT 2024. If two or more candidates 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 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?

• Highest score
• Lowest score
• Mean score
• Median score
• Top 10 percentiles
• Lowest 10 percentiles

CAT 2024 results will be prepared based on normalized score and CAT percentile will be calculated only after raw CAT scores are scaled and normalized.

What after CAT Result 2024?

After the CAT 2024 results are declared, the candidates who meet the minimum CAT cutoff score will be intimated by the respective IIMs for further selection rounds. Each IIM sends interview letters to the shortlisted candidates directly via email or registered/speed post. The criteria for shortlisting vary across IIMs.

Normally the IIMs follow the selection procedure which includes the following rounds- Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. The new IIMs have a common selection procedure, that is, a Common Admission Process (CAP) for which separate registration is done once the minimum CAP cutoff percentile is released by the CAP conducting authority.

The final selection of the candidates for MBA admissions will be done based on various parameters such as CAT score, academic history, work experience, academic diversity, gender diversity, and performance in WAT/GD-PI.

CAT Cut Off 2024

The minimum marks required by a candidate in the CAT result 2024 to make it to the next selection rounds is called the CAT cutoff. There are several factors considered before calculating the CAT cutoff. These factors include- the difficulty level of the CAT question paper, the number of candidates appearing for the CAT exam, seat intake, previous year CAT cutoffs, etc.

Candidates can meanwhile check the previous year's CAT cut off. The CAT merit list 2024 is the list of candidates who have qualified the CAT cutoff and are eligible for the next stage of the admission process. The CAT merit list 2024 will be released by the respective IIMs along with the CAT result 2024.
