Scoring Formulae

CAT Score

42.5% weightage is given to the candidate's overall scaled score in CAT 2025.

CAT Score = (Candidate's CAT Scaled Score / 198) x 42.5

Personal Interview (PI) Score

Scores are adjusted for panel-level variation using the global mean and panel mean.

Adjusted Score = Score + Global Mean - Panel Mean
PI Score = ((Score + Global Mean - Panel Mean) x 42.5) / 40

Note: Originals and copies of all certificates must be produced for verification at the time of PI.
