What is the method to calculate the CAT exam result 2023 percentile?

The CAT percentile includes three steps. A candidate is awarded three marks for each right answer and one mark is deducted for the wrong answer. For non-MCQ-type questions, no marks are deducted for inaccurate answers. 

• Applicant’s scores are initially assessed on a section-by-section basis. The overall score is determined by summing up individual section scores. 
• Both section-wise and overall scores undergo a normalization process to get a scaled CAT score.
• The normalized scores are further converted into percentiles.

Step 1: Identify the total number of applicants who participated in IIM CAT across all the shifts. 

Total no. of candidates = N

Step 2: Assign rank = R, according to the scaled scores obtained by candidates in the VARC section. If two or more candidates attain similar scaled scores in the VARC section, assign them identical ranks. For example, if two candidates achieve the highest scaled CAT score in the VARC, both receive rank 1. The candidate with the second-highest scaled score in the VARC section is assigned rank 3.

Step 3: Use the formula P = ((N – r) / N) * 100 to calculate the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank (r) in the VARC section. 

Step 4: Round off the calculated percentile score (P) to two decimal points. For example, percentiles equal to or greater than 99.995 are rounded off to 100, percentiles greater than or equal to 99.985 but less than 99.995 are rounded off to 99.99, and so forth.

Factors such as mean score, lowest score, highest score, median score, top 10 percentiles, and lowest 10 percentiles are taken into consideration for CAT normalization.
