How to calculate CAT 2021 percentile

To calculate the CAT percentile, the scaled scores are used. The higher the percentile, the higher are the chances of selection into IIMs and other top MBA colleges.

Step 1: Take the total number of candidates, N, who appeared for CAT in the morning, afternoon, and evening shifts.

Step 2: Assign rank, r, on the basis of the scaled scores obtained by candidates in VARC (can take any of the three) sections of all candidates who appeared for CAT 2021. If two or more candidates will obtain identical scaled scores in the VARC section, identical ranks will be assigned to them.

Step 3: Now calculate the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank (r) in the VARC section as shown below:

P= (N-r)/ N ) *100

Step 4: Now round off the calculated percentile score (P). This can be done up to two decimal points. For example, all CAT 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.
