The CAT percentile reflects a candidate's relative performance compared to all other test-takers. To calculate the CAT percentile, follow these steps:

First, identify the total number of candidates (N) who appeared for the exam and determine your rank (R) based on your total score. The percentile is then calculated using the formula: Percentile = [(N - R) / N] × 100. This formula essentially measures how many candidates performed worse than you in the exam.

For instance, if 2,00,000 candidates appeared for CAT 2024 and your rank is 1,000, the percentile would be calculated as: [(200000 - 1000) / 200000] × 100 = 99.50%. Finally, the result is rounded off to two decimal places for precision.

This method ensures a fair comparison of scores among candidates and helps institutions shortlist applicants for further admission rounds.
