Difference Between CAT Score vs Percentile 2023

CAT Raw Score: CAT score vs percentile 2023 evaluates the performance of the candidates in the CAT exam. The IIMs conduct the CAT exam in three slots every year. Normalisation is the process done in case of conducting the exam in multiple slots. The normalised score is said to be the CAT raw score. The scaled CAT score is the summation of the marks obtained by the candidates in all three sections, Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (QA) after normalisation.

CAT percentile 2023 is the percentage of candidates below a candidate in the merit list. A candidate having a CAT percentile of 95 means 95 per cent of the total candidates who attended the CAT exam have scored below him/her. In short, the CAT percentile is the measure used to categorise all CAT exam takers based on their performance.

  • Final CAT Raw Score: CAT raw score for MCQ+ CAT raw score for non-MCQ

Hey! With an All India Rank (AIR) of 302,821 in NEET and belonging to the BCE category, it is highly unlikely to get a BDS seat in Telangana under the state quota, as the closing ranks for BCE are usually below 50,000. You may consider applying to private colleges under management quota or explore BDS seats in other states, but the chances remain very limited with this rank.

At KIMS Amalapuram, the internship stipend for MBBS students is generally reported to be around 20,000 per month, though some students have mentioned that in certain years no stipend was provided at all, which means it can vary depending on the policies in place at the time of your internship. To get the most accurate and updated information, it is always best to confirm directly with the college administration or recent interns, but on average, you can expect a stipend in the range of 18,000-20,000 per month during the compulsory rotating internship.

Hello Aspirant,

Since your payment status shows "S" , it means your payment is successful. The "payment unsuccessful" message on the form is likely a temporary system error or a delay in updating.

Do not make another payment.

Making a second payment could cause a double debit, which is difficult to get a refund for. You should:

  1. Wait 24-48 hours for the status to update automatically.

  2. Download and save a copy of your form and a screenshot of the "S" payment status as proof.

  3. Check your bank statement to confirm the money has been debited.

  4. If the issue is not fixed after 48 hours, contact the official CAT helpdesk immediately with your transaction details.
