Understanding CAT Percentiles
The percentile ranking in CAT reflects how a candidate performed in comparison to all other test-takers. Here’s how the percentile is calculated:
- Raw Score Calculation:
- You earn 3 marks for every correct answer.
- 1 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer in multiple-choice questions.
- Non-MCQs do not have negative marking.
- Scaled Scores:
- Raw scores are adjusted to account for variations in difficulty levels across different sessions.
- This adjusted score is known as the scaled score.
- Percentile Conversion:
- The scaled scores are converted into percentiles to rank candidates relative to others.
- The percentile represents the percentage of candidates who scored below a particular individual.

What is the CAT Normalization Process?
The CAT exam is conducted in multiple sessions, and the difficulty levels can vary between sessions. To ensure fairness, a normalization process is applied. This statistical method adjusts raw scores, taking into account session-wise differences. The factors considered include:
- Highest and lowest scores in each session
- Mean and median scores
- Performance of top and bottom percentiles
Normalization ensures that all candidates are assessed on a level playing field, regardless of session-specific question variations.
