CAT Cut Off 2025: Score vs Percentile

For admission to MBA courses, B-Schools consider CAT percentile which is calculated from the scaled scores of all test takers. CAT scaled score is not the same as raw CAT score. It is the score arrived at after normalisation of the raw scores of all candidates across exam slots. This is done to ensure that every candidate's performance across the exam sessions are judged on the same scale and no one gets the advantage of solving an easier CAT test form or the disadvantage of solving a tougher test form.

A high CAT score may not convert into high percentile if a large number of candidates have scored the same or higher. However, an estimation can be calculated based on number of test takers and difficulty level of CAT exam for that year. Check the table below to know estimated range of CAT scores vs CAT percentile (courtesy IMS India):

CAT Percentile	VARC Score	DILR Score	QA Score	Overall
99.9	50	46	46	118-123
99.5	42	40	41	103-108
99	38	37	33	92-95
