CAT Percentile Predictor 2024, IIM & Non-IIM Call Predictor, Score Calculator

CAT Percentile Predictor 2024 by Collegedunia is a free tool designed to help you in calculating your expected percentile based on your CAT 2024 scores. The percentile predictor tool uses previous years’ cut-off data to provide the most accurate results.

• The cut off percentile for top-rated IIMs is usually 97+, which shows that they’re the preferred destination for toppers.
• Top B-schools accept a percentile between 91 - 98. However, there are B-schools that accept a percentile in the range of 70 to 80 too.

To check the list of eligible IIMs or top B-schools that may call you for the PI round, it is first required to know the CAT percentile equivalent of your scores using the CAT percentile predictor. Once you know your percentile score, you can use the CAT 2024 College Predictor tool by Collegedunia to get the list of colleges accepting CAT percentile of 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100.

Factors Influencing CAT Cut-offs

Several factors impact the determination of cut-offs each year:

1. Difficulty Level of the Exam: A more challenging exam typically results in lower cutoffs due to fewer candidates achieving high scores.
2. Number of Aspirants: An increase in candidates generally raises the cut-off as the competition increases.
3. Number of Seats Available: Limited seats can lead to higher cut-offs.
4. Historical Trends: Previous years' data highly influence current expectations.
5. Institutes’ Reputation: More prestigious and top-rated institutions tend to have higher cut-offs.
