The final result of the CAT exam is calculated by using a process called normalisation, which calculates the scores to make them fair across all the sessions. This process is similar to the one that is used in the GATE exam and uses statistical formulas. The CAT percentile is calculated after the adjusted marks are finalized.

How to Calculate the CAT Percentile

The CAT exam percentile defines how a student has performed compared to other candidates who participated in the examination. Every student’s raw score will first be calculated by using the official marking scheme. After that the raw score will be normalized to make them fair for all the sessions for the CAT exam 2025 resulting in a scaled score. Finally, the CAT percentile will be worked out on the basis of the scaled score. 

Some Steps are Given Below for the Calculation of the CAT 2025 Percentile:

Step 1: Marks are given to candidates on the basis of each correct or incorrect answer.

Step 2: For each correct answer +3 marks are given to the candidate, and for each incorrect attempt, -1 mark is deducted.

Step 3: The raw scores for every section and the overall total are normalized to calculate the scaled score.

Step 4: The normalized score is converted into a percentile, which is mentioned in the CAT result.
