CDAC C-CAT 2026 Result - Section-Wise Rankings

CDAC C-CAT candidates will be provided ranks based on their performance in Section A, Section A+B, and Sections A+B+C of C-CAT. If a candidate appears for multiple sections and qualifies for them, he or she will be provided with multiple ranks. For example, if a candidate appears for Sections A and B by choosing Category II in the application form, he or she will be provided with two ranks: (i) based on the performance in Section A, and (ii) based on the performance in Sections A+B. 

According to the admission booklet released on the official website, candidates with the lowest 20% performance in section A and section B and the lowest 10%  performance in section C of C-CAT will not be qualified for ranking in that particular section and its higher sections. Even after the removal of the lowest performers as stated above, if there exist candidates in any section with zero or less than zero marks, then these candidates will also not be qualified for ranking.

All qualified candidates will be awarded Category I ranks based on their performance in Section  A. Qualified candidates who have selected Category II in the C-CAT application form will be awarded Category I and II ranks based on their performance in Sections A and A+B. Qualified candidates who have selected Category III will obtain Category I, II and III ranks based on their performances in Sections A, A+B and A+B+C.
