CAT Percentile Score – Methodology

The methodology to calculate the percentile obtained by candidates in the CAT exam 2024 is as follows: 

Step 1 – The first step is to calculate the total number of students who appeared for the exam.

Step 2 – Based on the scaled score (normalised score) achieved by candidates, assign them a rank {R}. If two or more candidates have scored the same marks, the assigned rank will be identical. 

For example, if two candidates achieve the highest scaled score, both will be assigned a rank of 1. Similarly, the candidate(s) with the second-highest scaled score will be assigned a rank of 3, and the ranking will continue in this manner.

Step 3 – Calculate the percentile score (p) of a candidate with a rank {R}: 

𝑃 = (𝑁 − 𝑟)/N x 100 

Step 4 – After calculating the CAT percentile, round off the score up to two decimal points. 

Note – The same methodology is used to calculate the CAT sectional percentile score.
