CAT Percentile Predictor
Enter your expected CAT raw score to get an estimated overall percentile. The estimate uses public score-vs-percentile data from recent CAT cycles — useful for planning your B-school shortlist while you wait for official results.
Indicative estimate only, based on public approximate data for recent CAT cycles. Actual percentiles and cutoffs vary every year with difficulty, normalisation, category, and each institute’s process. Always confirm with official sources.

FAQs
- How is the CAT percentile calculated?
- Your CAT percentile is the percentage of candidates who scored at or below you, computed on your normalised scaled score across the three slots. This tool estimates that percentile from your raw score using public score-vs-percentile data from recent CAT cycles.
- What CAT score gives a 99 percentile?
- In recent CAT cycles a raw score of roughly 100+ out of 198 has corresponded to about a 99 percentile, but the exact mark moves every year with paper difficulty and normalisation.
- Is this CAT percentile predictor accurate?
- It is an indicative estimate, not an official result. Real percentiles depend on the candidate pool and IIM normalisation, so treat the number as a ballpark for planning.
