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 2023.

To calculate the CAT percentile for 2023, scaled scores are used. The process of calculating percentiles for the CAT 2023 result remains the same for all sections. The higher the percentile, the greater the chances of selection. The following process will be used to calculate the CAT 2023 percentile.

Step 1: Take the total number of candidates who appeared for IIM CAT in the morning, afternoon, and evening shifts.

Total number of candidates = N

Step 2: Assign rank = R, based on the scaled scores obtained by candidates in the VARC (can take any of the three) sections of all candidates who will appear for CAT 2023. 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 exam for MBA 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

CAT Exam Result Release Date - Past Year Trends

What happens after CAT Result 2023?

Once the CAT 2023 results are announced, candidates who meet the minimum CAT cutoff score will be notified by the respective IIMs for further selection rounds. The shortlisted candidates will receive interview letters directly from the IIMs via email or registered/speed post. The criteria for shortlisting candidates vary across different IIMs. The selection procedure typically includes rounds such as Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). However, the new IIMs follow a Common Admission Process (CAP) for which separate registration is required once the minimum CAP cutoff percentile is released by the CAP conducting authority. The final selection of candidates for MBA admissions is based on various parameters including CAT score, academic history, work experience, academic diversity, gender diversity, and performance in WAT/GD-PI.
