B-Schools Accepting CMAT Score 2024 (Location-Wise)

How to Calculate CMAT Score?

CMAT Answer Key 2024 contains question-wise correct answers, options selected by the candidate, marks given and marks deducted. With this information, candidates can calculate their raw CMAT score. Check out the CMAT marking scheme below:

  • 4 marks will be given for each correct answer.
  • 1 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
  • No marks are given/ deducted for unanswered questions.

Example;

  • Suppose you attempt 15 out of 20 questions in the Language Comprehension section. Out of 15, 9 answers are correct and 6 are incorrect. So, your score in the Language Comprehension section will be (9x4)-6 = 30. So your score is 30 out of 80 in LC.

Calculate the raw score of all the sections of CMAT in the same manner and add them to arrive at the overall score.

For the convenience of students, Careers360 has devised CMAT percentile predictor 2024 and CMAT college predictor 2024 tools that can quickly estimate your percentile. Based on this CMAT percentile, you will know the colleges where you can apply.

How to Calculate CMAT Percentile?

Candidates will easily calculate their CMAT 2024 percentile by using the below-provided formulae.

Percentile (P) = 100 x the Number of candidates who appeared in the examination with a raw score equal to or less than the candidates divided by the total number of candidates who appeared in the CMAT exam.

Example;

  • Suppose 10,000 candidates appeared in the CMAT 2024 entrance exam and a candidate gets Rank 1 then the CMAT percentile score will be 99.99.

Check the example for better insight.

  • Percentile (P)= 10,000 -1 (rank)/ 10,000 x 100= 99.99

Questions related to CMAT

Have a question related to CMAT ?

An 80 percentile CMAT score is a decent score, but whether you can secure admission to IMS depends on several factors:

  1. Specific IMS Campus: There are multiple IMS campuses with varying admission criteria and cut-offs.
  2. Program Offered: The program you're targeting (PGDM, MBA, etc.) will have different eligibility requirements.
  3. Category: Your category (General, OBC, SC, ST) will influence your chances.
  4. Competition: The overall competition for that particular year and program will determine the final cut-off.

While an 80 percentile score increases your chances, it's essential to check the specific cut-offs for your desired IMS campus and program. Additionally, consider other factors like work experience, academic background, and GD/PI performance, as they might play a role in the final selection.

To improve your chances, research different IMS campuses, understand their admission process, and prepare well for the subsequent selection rounds.
