How is CAT Percentile Calculated?

To determine the CAT percentile for the year 2022, the scaled scores are used and the calculation process is the same for all sections. A higher percentile indicates a greater likelihood of selection. Here are the steps to calculate CAT 2022 percentile:
Step 1: Identify the total number of candidates who have appeared for the IIM CAT exam in the morning, afternoon, and evening shifts.
Total number of candidates = N
Step 2: Assign rank = R to each candidate, based on their scaled scores obtained in any of the three VARC sections. If two or more candidates have the same scaled score in the VARC section, they will be given the same rank.
For instance, if two candidates have the highest scaled score in the VARC section, they will both receive rank 1. The candidate(s) with the second-highest scaled score in the VARC section will be given a rank of 3.
Step 3: Use the following formula to calculate the percentile score (P) for a candidate with rank (r) in the VARC section:
P = ((N-r)/ N) * 100
Step 4: Round off the calculated percentile score (P) up to two decimal places. For example, percentile scores equal to or greater than 99.995 are rounded off to 100, and percentile scores equal to or greater than 99.985 but less than 99.995 are rounded off to 99.99, and so on.

What is the CAT Normalization Process?

CAT is conducted in different slots, and to ensure fairness in the evaluation process, a normalization process is employed. This practice has been followed for several years, and it helps to evaluate a candidate's performance across multiple exam sessions by scaling their marks. The normalization process is a well-established practice that brings uniformity to the marking process and ensures that all candidates are evaluated on an equal footing.

Parameters taken into consideration for CAT normalization:

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to CAT 2022 Result

When will the CAT 2022 result be announced? Will I receive my CAT result via SMS?

CAT 2022 result was announced on December 21 at 5:00 PM. CAT result notification is sent to each candidate through SMS on their registered mobile phone number; but the SMS will not reveal the CAT scores.

I do not have any work experience. Will my CAT result get affected by this?

Not having a work experience will not affect your CAT result. It may, however, have an impact on the final selection to IIMs as students having work experience get extra points during shortlisting of candidates.

Will I be eligible for MBA admission even if I do not clear the minimum CAT cut-off?

No, you will not be eligible for admission to any institute if you do not clear the minimum CAT cut off fixed by that particular institute. Clearing the CAT cut off is the mandatory requirement to be fulfilled to get shortlisted for group discussion and personal interview rounds for MBA colleges.

Is 95 percentile CAT score good?

A 95 percentile score in CAT is a very good score. It means that the candidate has scored better than 95% of the total candidates who have appeared for the exam. However, the cutoff for admission to top IIMs and other premier management institutes may be higher than 95 percentile. It is important to keep in mind that the selection process for admission to top B-schools is not solely based on CAT scores. Other factors such as academic background, work experience, and performance in further selection rounds like WAT, GD, and PI are also taken into consideration.

Will I be able to see my scaled score on my CAT 2022 scorecard?

Yes, the scaled score will be displayed on the CAT scorecard along with sectional and overall percentiles. If you wish to know your raw score, then you can calculate it with the help of CAT answer key and response sheet released prior to result declaration.
