What is CAT Percentile?

The CAT percentile represents a candidate’s relative performance in the Common Admission Test as compared to other test-takers. Instead of showing the actual marks, the CAT percentile indicates the percentage of candidates who scored lower than you in the exam. CAT accepting institutes like IIMs use CAT percentiles to shortlist students for the next stage of admission, such as WAT, PI or GD. A higher percentile improves your chances of getting calls from top B-schools in India, making it an important indicator of your standing in the competition. 

 

How is CAT Percentile Calculated?

The CAT percentile can be calculated by using your performance relative to all other candidates who appeared for the exam. The CAT percentile does not show your actual marks but your rank positions among other test-takers. After computing raw scores and applying normalisation lacrosse three slots, each candidate will get a scaled score. 

 

Check out the formula used for checking your CAT 2025 Percentile:

 

Percentile = [(Number of candidates scoring below you) ÷ (Total number of candidates)] × 100

 

CAT 2025 Marking Scheme

 

Here is the overview of the CAT 2025 marking scheme for the calculation of the estimated CAT 2025 score. 

 

  • For every correct answer, candidates will be awarded +3 marks. 
  • For every incorrect answer, 1 mark will be deducted.
  • No marks will be deducted for non-MCQs/TITA questions.

CAT Questions And Answers

Hello,

For a raw score of 56 in CAT 2025 Slot 3, your expected overall percentile is likely to be in the range of the 90th-95th percentile. The exact percentile can vary slightly on the final normalization process and the process and performance of all test-takers. In this article you'll find more about the CAT result.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,
With a projected CAT percentile of 87% but not clearing sectional cutoffs, your chances at top IIMs are limited because they require both overall percentile and sectional minimums. However, you still have a good shot at other reputed management institutes and non-IIM B-schools. Consider colleges like NMIMS, SPJIMR, IMT, TAPMI, Great Lakes, and other well-ranked private or state-level B-schools that accept CAT scores and weigh your profile holistically. Your academic record, BSc in Animation with 80%, and 5 years of work experience at Ubisoft India are strong points and may help in institutes that value work experience in their selection process. Also, explore institutes that accept XAT, MAT, or CMAT, where your profile can be competitive.
Hope this helps you.

Good Morning,

NIT Rourkela CAT cutoff range is between 70-85 percentiles for the general category. 70 is the minimum percentile needed to apply, and 85 is the highest percentile. However, the maximum percentile depends on the particular year competition. It can be changed.

Thank You.

If you filled the UGC NET form under EWS but you don’t have a valid EWS certificate, then forget using the EWS category. They won’t accept it. You’ll automatically be treated as General category during document verification.


And no, this won’t make your form “invalid” or “illegal.” It just means you won’t get the EWS benefit.


So yes — you can still go for General category posts and Professor recruitment. Just don’t try to submit a fake/invalid certificate; that will get you disqualified.

Hello,
If your CAT admit card shows your surname first followed by your first name as entered in the form, it is correct. You do not need to worry about this format as long as it matches the details you provided. Ensure all other information on the admit card is accurate and carry it to the exam along with the required identification documents.
Hope this helps you.

Hello,

If your CAT admit card has a different date of birth than your Aadhaar card, you should get it corrected immediately . Here’s what you can do:

  1. Check the CAT website : Log in to your candidate portal and look for the option to correct personal details.

  2. Contact the CAT helpdesk : Email or call them explaining the issue. Attach a copy of your Aadhaar card as proof.

  3. Do not ignore it : The date of birth must match your ID, otherwise you may face problems at the exam or during admission.

Usually, the CAT authorities allow corrections before the exam, so act quickly.

Hope it helps !
