How to calculate percentile of CAT 2017?
The Percentile is a rank scored by the student in the CAT examination and secured after answers have been finalized and also depend upon the number of students appearing the same exam. There is a simple example to understand for a candidate to count their percentile in CAT Exam 2017. Suppose if you consider yourself as A and B as a total test taker in the single CAT Exam 2017 and C is your rank scored in the same exam only.
then first C (your rank scored) is subtracted from B(total test taker) the answer is again divided from the B and multiplied by 100 is your percentile calculated.
Suppose if there are 200000 total test taker in CAT 2017 exam and your rank is 1700 then 200000-1700=198300. 198300/200000x100%=99.15 %tile.
