CAT Score vs Percentile 2025: Normalisation (Scaled Score) Explained

Many candidates get confused between raw score, scaled score, and percentile. CAT is held in multiple sessions, so IIMs use a normalisation process to ensure fairness across slots. Your final CAT scorecard reflects the scaled score and percentile (overall + section-wise).

Raw Score vs Scaled Score (What’s the Difference?)

• Raw score: The marks you get directly from your attempted questions (before any slot balancing).
• Scaled score: Your score after normalisation across slots (this is what matters for percentile and calls).

What is CAT Normalisation?

Normalisation is a statistical adjustment used because Slot 1/2/3 can vary slightly in difficulty. If one slot is harder, raw scores may be adjusted so that candidates are not disadvantaged purely due to slot difficulty.

Why Your Percentile Can Feel “Unexpected”

• Percentile is a relative rank indicator, not just marks.
• It depends on overall candidate performance distribution, not only your score.
• Even a 1–2 mark difference can shift percentiles at the top range.

How to Use Your CAT Scorecard Smartly

• Focus on overall percentile and sectional percentiles (both are used for IIM calls).
• Compare your percentile with expected cut-offs (overall + section-wise).
• Shortlist colleges based on realistic bands (dream, target, safe).

What Happens After CAT 2025 Result? (IIM Calls, Shortlists & Selection)

Once CAT 2025 results are declared (expected in the first week of January 2026, tentative), the next stage is institute-wise shortlisting. Each IIM/B-school releases calls based on its own selection criteria (overall percentile, sectional percentile, profile, academics, work-ex, etc.).

Typical Post-Result Flow

1. Shortlist/Calls: IIMs and top B-schools release shortlist updates on their portals.
2. Selection Rounds: PI/WAT/GD rounds are conducted (as applicable).
3. Final Merit List: Final offers are released institute-wise after interviews.

What You Should Do Right After Your Result

• Check your overall + sectional percentiles and compare with expected cut-offs.
• Use a percentile predictor / score vs percentile page to benchmark your position.
• Shortlist colleges: target IIMs + non-IIMs based on your percentile band.
• Start PI/WAT prep early (common topics, SOP, HR answers, academics refresh).

CAT 2025 Results Normalisation Process

The CAT for the MBA test is given in several slots, so a normalisation technique is utilised to scale each candidate's score to make the marking process more equitable.

The CAT normalisation process is an established procedure used over the years to evaluate a candidate's performance across numerous sessions. Parameters involving CAT exam results normalisation are as follows: 

• Highest score
• Lowest score
• Mean score
• Median score
• Top 10 percentiles
• Lowest 10 percentiles

• 

  

CAT 2025 Result Percentile Calculation

The CAT percentile calculation is done in four steps:

• The marks are awarded based on correct and incorrect attempts.
• The total score is calculated by adding +3 marks for each correct answer, while -1 marks are deducted for every incorrect answer.
• Lastly, the overall and section-wise scores are normalised to arrive at a scaled CAT score.
• The final normalised scores are then converted to percentiles, which are presented in the CAT scorecards.
