Check Normalization Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since CAT is conducted in three slots, raw scores are normalized. IIMs adjust scores across Slot 1, Slot 2, and Slot 3 to ensure fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Compare with Previous Year Percentile Mapping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Refer to CAT 2024 and CAT 2023 percentile charts. For example, a raw score of ~95\u2013100 often fetched 99 percentile. Use the CAT percentile vs score as a benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use Official Scorecard for Final Percentile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can estimate using the answer key, the official percentile will only be available in the CAT 2025 result released by IIMs in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Use Percentile Predictor Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the CAT percentile predictor, where you enter your raw score to get an estimated percentile based on previous year cut-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-palette-color-1-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-884b3a1df0a2c128aad8ab7657df320b\"><strong>Practice with CAT PYQs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT Previous Year Papers<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2025-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2025 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2024-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2024 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2023-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2023 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2022-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2022 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2021-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2021 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2020-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2020 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lptedtech.com\/blog\/cat\/previous-year-papers\/2019-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAT 2019 Question Paper<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_2025_Score_vs_Percentile_Expected\"><\/span>CAT 2025 Score vs Percentile (Expected)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the expected CAT percentile vs score 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Score Range<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Percentile (Expected)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>115+<\/td><td>99.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>100+<\/td><td>99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>60 \u2013 63<\/td><td>95<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>46 \u2013 50<\/td><td>90<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>41 \u2013 45<\/td><td>85<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> This score vs percentile mapping for CAT 2025 is based on previous year trends and early estimates.
