CAT 2025 normalisation process is equating the CAT scores to ensure transparency and equality for all the test takers of different slots. Since the exam is conducted in different slots the difficulty level of the question paper may vary therefore CAT normalisation process is done for the fair evaluation. The normalisation process of CAT scores is done before the release of the results and performance of the candidate is standardized accordingly. After the normalisation across different formats, the scores shall be further normalised for all the sections. The scaled scores secured by this process shall be converted into percentiles for the shortlisting purposes.

This process eradicates all discrimination and discrepancy that might occur due to the different questions in different slots. In CAT 2024 the slot 1 paper was comparatively easier than other 2 slots. Considering this, the difficulty level being a bit high in the other two slots will be unfair for the test takers of slot 2 and 3 if the same cutoff is to be met. Here comes the role of the CAT normalisation process. Now the authorities will adjust the scores of the performance of the candidates on a common scale and then the CAT results 2024 was declared. For the reporting purpose, the scaled scores of each section i.e. VARC, DILR, QA and total along with percentiles shall be published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the proper analysis about the CAT Normalisation process and the scaled score across slots, let&#8217;s take an example from the last year CAT exam analysis.

The same steps will be used to calculate the overall percentile scores for the other two sections, i.e. DILR and VARC, in CAT.<br><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Compute the total number of test-takers (N) who attempted the CAT exam (i.e. including morning, afternoon and evening sessions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Assign a rank (r) depending on the scaled scores secured in the QA section to all CAT test-takers. If two or more candidates secure the same scaled scores in the QA section, assign the same ranks to all those test-takers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If two test-takers secure the highest scaled score in the QA section, then both of them will be designated a rank of 1. However, those who will secure the second-highest scaled score in the QA section will be allocated a rank of 3 and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Compute the percentile score (P) of an aspirant with rank (r) in the QA section as:<br>\ud835\udc43 = ((\ud835\udc41 \u2212 \ud835\udc5f)\/\ud835\udc41) x 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4<\/strong>: Next, round off the computed percentile score (P) of the test-taker up to two decimal points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-normalisation-process-important-formula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Normalisation_Process_%E2%80%93_Important_Formula\"><\/span><strong>CAT Normalisation Process &#8211; Important Formula<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\"><code><strong>\ud835\udc43 = ((\ud835\udc41 \u2212 \ud835\udc5f)\/\ud835\udc41) x 100<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#efdfb3\" class=\"has-inline-color\">This formula depicts the percentile score (P) of a CAT aspirant with rank represented as &#8216;r&#8217;. <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-cat-score-normalisation-important\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_CAT_Score_Normalisation_Important\"><\/span><strong>Why is CAT Score Normalisation Important?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the following reasons why it is the CAT normalisation process important &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Accuracy is ensured &#8211; By calculating the final scores through the normalisation process accuracy is assured as it will reflect the candidates relative performance with the other test takers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Builds Trust and Transparency &#8211; Since the scores of the candidates are fairly equated this builds trust amongst the students and transparency is ensured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fair comparison of CAT scores &#8211; As a result of the CAT normalisation process candidates performance can be easily compared with any other candidate irrespective of the slot they have appeared for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-shadow\" style=\"margin-bottom:18px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-percentile-predictor\" style=\"border-radius:30px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(254,205,165) 0%,rgb(254,45,45) 22%,rgb(107,0,62) 100%)\">CAT Percentile Predictor<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-percentile-predictor\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1024x535.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1024x535.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1536x802.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-804x420.png 804w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-696x364.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1068x558.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1.png 1610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Normalisation_Process_%E2%80%93_FAQs\"><\/span><strong>CAT Normalisation Process &#8211; FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1732533412806\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is CAT scaled score?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CAT scaled score is calculated using the raw scores of the candidates.
