CAT 2024 result shortly at iimcat.ac.in; know scaled score and normalisation process

To ensure fairness and consistency in evaluating candidates across these sessions, the scores will undergo a normalisation process. After normalising the scores across different papers, further normalisation will be carried out within each section. The final CAT 2024 scaled and normalised scores will then be converted into percentiles for shortlisting candidates.

For CAT 2024, IIMs will calculate the scaled score for each candidate in all three sections. The exam will be conducted in three sessions: the morning session (8:30 am – 10:30 am), the afternoon session (12:30 pm – 2:30 pm), and the evening session (4:30 pm – 6:30 pm) on November 24, 2024. The overall scaled score will be the sum of the scaled scores from all three sections.

CAT 2024: Calculation of CAT scaled scores

Candidates can check how CAT 2024 scaled score is calculated and the normalisation formula;

Step 1: First the mean & standard deviation (SD) will be calculated of the raw scores in the DILR section for all candidates who appeared in the morning shift

• Let Mean = M1
• Let SD = S1

• Hence, G1 = M1 + S1

Step 2: Similarly, the mean and SD of the candidates who appeared in the afternoon shift will be calculated from the raw scores in the same DILR section for all candidates.

• Let Mean = M2
• Let SD = S2
• Hence, G2 = M2 + S2

Step 3: Now, calculate the mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the raw scores in the DILR section for all candidates in both morning and afternoon shifts.

• Let Mean be M
• The standard Deviation be S
• Therefore, G = M + S

Step 4: Calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section of the top 0.1% of candidates who appeared in the first-morning shift. Denote the same by ?1 0.1

Step 5: Similarly, For the top 0.1% of candidates of the afternoon shift, calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section. Denote it by ?2 0.1

Step 6: Now for the top 0.1% of candidates who appeared in CAT 2024 for both morning and afternoon shifts, calculate the mean raw score in the DILR section. Denote the same by ?0.1.
