  • VARC – Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension
  • DILR – Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning
  • QA – Quantitative Ability

CAT uses scaled scores and percentiles to ensure fairness across different exam slots. Raw scores in each section are first scaled, then converted into percentiles based on the relative performance of all candidates.

• A higher scaled score than most candidates in a section results in a higher sectional percentile.
• Overall percentile is based on overall scaled score compared to the entire test-taking population.
• Percentile does not represent percentage of marks but the percentage of candidates you have scored better than.

• Check your CAT percentile and compare with previous year cut-offs for target IIMs and B-schools.
• Fill out institute-specific application forms (if not already done) and update CAT 2025 details where required.
• Start preparation for WAT/GD/PI rounds focusing on current affairs, personal interview questions and profile-based discussions.
• Use college predictor tools to shortlist realistic options across IIMs and non-IIM institutes based on your percentile.
