Cat exam: result updates

Every year about lakhs of candidates appear for CAT 2016 with a dream of seeking admission into one of the best B-schools. Getting a high percentile in CAT is the only key for all the candidates to help them gain entry into reputed IIMs and other institutes of equal recognition.

• Scaled scores for total scores and section-wise
• Percentile section-wise and total-wise

On basis of the details released on the cut-off by way of a notification released by IIMs and CAT exam, the candidates would be taken to the next level.

As per the CAT exam marking scheme, the answers would be checked and a total score would get likely to be determined. The score is adjusted by way of equating across various sections.

Along with the percentile obtained in CAT, the past academic record of the candidate, work experience are taken into consideration for the purpose of short-listing at various stages of the admission procedure.
