1.1 Performance in CAT 2016 (60%)

1.2 Academic Profile (23%):
The formula for calculating the weightage for academic profile will be as follows:
1.2.1 10th standard (5%)
| Marks Obtained (in %) | Formula Used |
| >60 | (x-60)*5/40 |
Note:
1. x is the percentage of marks obtained in 10th standard.
2. Marks in all the subjects that appear on the marksheet of the 10thstandard must be considered to arrive at the final percentage irrespective of whether the board considers them or not to compute the final percentages.
3. On the basis of the score obtained by the candidate and maximum possible score (for both percentage marks and CGPA/CPI), equivalent percentage of marks will be derived as (Obtained score/ Maximum possible score)*100, irrespective of the formula followed by the respective boards/institutions for the conversion.
1.2.2 12th standard (8%)
The score awarded to the candidates will depend on their streams (Science, Commerce, Arts and Humanities) and will be calculated on the basis of the below mentioned formulae.
Stream: Science
| Marks Obtained (in %) | Formula Used |
| >65 | (x-65)*8/35 |
Stream: Commerce
| Marks Obtained (in %) | Formula Used |
| >60 | (x-60)*8/40 |
Stream: Arts and Humanities
| Marks Obtained (in %) | Formula Used |

| >65 and <=85 | (x-65)*10/20 |
| >85 | 10 |
Discipline 2: Medicine and Arts **
| Marks Obtained (in %) | Formula Used |
| >55 and <=75 | (x-55)*10/20 |
| >75 | 10 |

2. If a candidate has an integrated master’s degree or dual degree after their 12th standard or equivalent, the university/institute norms for calculating the equivalent bachelor’s degree percentage would be considered for the calculation of their graduation percentage scores.
3.

Example of Cumulative Average Calculation:
1st year – Max marks 500 – Obtained marks 460
2nd year – Max marks 400 – Obtained marks 330
3rd year – Max marks 450 – Obtained marks 380
Cumulative average will be = (460+330+380) / (500+400+450) * 100 = 86.66%
