CAT Exam Result 2023 Highlights

• CAT 2023 result is expected to be released in the first week of Jan 2024, by IIM. 
• Registered candidates will receive an SMS announcing the release of the CAT 2023 results.
• Results for every CAT slot have been announced on the official website. 
• The candidate's scaled scores and percentile are shown on the CAT scorecard 2023.

How is CAT Percentile Calculated?

There are three steps in the CAT percentile calculation:

Three marks are given for each correct response, and one mark is subtracted for each incorrect response, according to the CAT exam pattern over the years. In questions, not MCQs, incorrect answers do not reduce your score.

Steps to Calculate IIM CAT Percentile

• Step 1: The score for each candidate is first calculated section-by-section, and the overall score is then calculated by adding the section-by-section scores.
• Step 2: To arrive at a scaled CAT score, these section-by-section and overall results (raw scores) are then standardised.
• Step 3: On the CAT scorecard 2023, percentiles based on the normalised scores are presented.

What is the CAT Normalization Process?

The CAT for the MBA exam is given in several slots, so a normalisation technique is utilised to scale each candidate's score in order to make the marking process more equitable. An established procedure used over the years to evaluate a candidate's performance across numerous sessions is the CAT normalisation process.

What factors are taken into account for CAT normalisation?

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