CAT 2019 Result – Score and Percentile Calculation 

CAT 2019 Percentile Calculation 

The CAT authorities follow the below steps to calculate the overall and sectional CAT percentile.  Step 1: The total number of candidates (N) who appeared for CAT (i.e. including both morning and afternoon sessions) is calculated.  Step 2: The candidates are assigned a rank (r) to all the candidates who took CAT, based on the scaled scores obtained in the particular section of CAT. In the case of two or more candidates obtaining identical scaled scores in a particular section, identical ranks are assigned to all those candidates. For example, suppose exactly two candidates obtain the highest scaled score in the QA section, then both of those candidates are assigned a rank of 1. Moreover, the candidate(s) obtaining the second-highest scaled score in that section is assigned a rank of 3, and so on.  Step 3: The percentile score (P) is calculated with rank (r) in that section as 𝑃 = ( (𝑁−𝑟) 𝑁 ) × 100. Step 4: The calculated percentile score (P) of a candidate is rounded off up to two decimal points. For example, all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.995 are rounded off to 100, all percentile scores greater than or equal to 99.985 but strictly less than 99.995 are rounded off to 99.99, and so on.  A methodology similar to the one described above is used for the computation of the overall CAT percentile scores and for the percentile scores of other sections.
