CMAT Percentile Calculator 2024
CMAT percentile denotes the percentage of candidates that have scored equal to or below that particular CMAT percentile in the examination. Therefore the highest score taker of each session will get the same CMAT percentile of 100.
Percentile scores are calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect and reduce ties. The CMAT percentile score of a candidate is calculated on the basis of CMAT Score using the given formula:
Total Percentile (TP1) = 100 x (No. of candidates who appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO or LESS than T1 score/ Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session).
However, The committee also has a proper formula to calculate the candidates’ percentile, which is: P=( 1 - All India rank( No. of candidates in that subject) x 100
An easy way for students to calculate their percentile on the basis of rank is by following the below-mentioned formula:
P= 100*{(Total number of candidates who appear for the exam – rank obtained)/Total number of candidates who appeared for the exam}.
Perhaps, if there are around 10,000 candidates who appear for CMAT 2024 exam and one of the candidates secures 8th rank. Then his or her CMAT percentile will be
P = 10000-8/10000*100
The calculation brings us to 99.92. This means that his or her CMAT percentile of the exam will be 99.92. As you can see, percentiles of all the candidates will and are calculated in this way, using just this formula.
