How Percentile is Calculated by IIMs?
CAT results are not based only on raw marks. Scores are first normalized and scaled across shifts to ensure fairness. Final percentile is determined by your ranking among total candidates.
Official Simplified Percentile Formula:
The score is rounded to two decimal places and percentile is calculated:
- Section-wise β VARC, DILR, QA
- Overall Combined Score
Two students with the same raw score may still get different percentiles depending on normalization and exam difficulty variations between slots.
