CAT generally known as Common Admission Test is a national level entrance test. This exam is regulated by the 19 Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) on a rotation basis. CAT is organized to provide admission into management programme offered by the various top management colleges. It is a computer based test. It is conducted by IIM, Calcutta. Here, we are providing the information related to the CAT 2018/2019 Percentile.
CAT 2018/2019 Percentile
A Percentile represents the rank of the candidates in the examination. To calculate the percentile, the institutions follow the CAT marking scheme. The answers can be checked & a total score will be determined.
The total score will be adjusted through a process called “equating”. Then, the score will be normalized across different sections. Thereafter the normalized score secured by the candidates will be further converted into percentiles for the purposes of shortlisting. The CAT result will be announced in the month of January 2019. Candidates can download their CAT score card via online mode.
The top B-Schools have a higher range of CAT cut-offs, 90+ percentile, while the mid rung B-School cut-off range, 75 to 80 percentile & the lower rung B-Schools have cut-off range is around 50 percentiles. The CAT result will be released in the month of January 2019.
Candidates will get a call from different IIMs & other non-IIM management institutions on the basis of CAT percentile, CAT score & along with the sectional cut-offs for the next round.
