How to Calculate CAT Exam 2024 Percentile?

The candidates can calculate the CAT percentile by using the formula where they have to know about certain details such as rank, number of candidates appeared, percentile score etc. They can calculate the CAT percentile for each section. Let’s take the example of the DILR section for calculating the percentile score

  • The first step is to calculate the total number of candidates(N) who appeared in both the sessions(morning and afternoon) of the CAT exam.
  • The ranks(r) can be assigned to the candidate based on DILR section scaled scores. If the scores of several candidates are the same, they will be given the same ranks.
  • In the third step, the percentile score(P) of the candidate can be calculated using rank(r) in the DILR section using the formula

P=[(N-r)/N] x 100

By using the same method the candidate can do percentile score calculations of other sections as well as the total percentile score of CAT. It can also help in comparing the performance of the candidate with others and categorize accordingly.
