CAT 2024 Percentile Calculation

All competitive examinations designate their candidates a certain rank in their respective results, which determines their further admission process. In CAT 2024, there are no explicit ranking criteria, and the CAT 2024 Percentile, as per the CAT 2024 Scorecard, is considered the Rank of candidates.

In order to determine the CAT percentile, each test taker's raw score is first determined using the CAT marking method, which assigns three marks for each right response and deducts one mark for each wrong response. For non-MCQ questions, incorrect responses do not result in a mark deduction. The CAT percentile is computed once the raw scores have been established. 

The process for CAT 2024 Percentile calculation is:

Step 1: Marking every correct and incorrect answer as per the CAT 2024 Answer Key

Step 2: Assigning 3 marks for every correct answer and -1 for every incorrect answer.

Step 3: The total scores are normalised as per the Normalisation technique to determine the Overall Scaled Percentile.

Step 4: The sectional scores are normalised as per the Normalisation technique to determine the Sectional Scaled Percentile.

Step 5: The formula used for calculating the CAT 2024 Percentile is P=((N-r)/ N )*100. Here, R is the Rank assigned after calculating scores, and N is the total number of candidates.
