How To Calculate CAT 2021 Percentile Score?
CAT 2021 percentile score can be calculated through the steps given below.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of candidates (N) who appeared for CAT
Step 2: Assign a rank (r), based on the scaled scores obtained in the QA section, to all candidates who appeared for CAT. In the case of two or more candidates obtaining identical scaled scores in the QA section, assign identical ranks to all those candidates.
Step 3: Calculate the percentile score (P) of a candidate with rank (r) in the QA section as: P = [(N − r)/N] x 100
Step 4: Round off the calculated percentile score (P) of a candidate up to two decimal points
“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,” mentions IIM Ahmedabad's official document.
IIM Ahmedabad will be releasing the CAT 2021 result by the second week of January.
