Great prediction model most accurate amongst all predictors I used
Closest prediction out of all the available predictors super impressed!
Spot on!
The CL Predicted Percentile is the average predicted percentile in the group of students belonging to the CAT percentile class interval.
Over the years, we have collected the information of CAT attempts of thousands of candidates and with the help of Machine Learning techniques have been able to build a robust model of percentile prediction which has proven its worth over the years.
The given data is based on the records of over 5375 students who submitted their response sheets and verified CAT 2021 score cards.

CAT cut-off is an indication of the minimum percentile score that is expected of a candidate to achieve for getting shortlisted by the participating institutes. While top B-schools are known to have a higher CAT cut-off range, the minimum cut-off varies from institute to institute.
CAT cut-off generally depends on certain factors like the difficulty level of the exam, number of test-takers, number of seats, etc.

The selection procedure differs according to various participating institutes. However, the one uniform feature among all is the preliminary round selection where candidates are shortlisted based on the CAT cut-off.
For the second-round selection, candidates will have to appear for the Group Discussion (GD) or Writing Ability Test (WAT) or both and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. The new IIMs have in fact started to conduct the Common Admission Process (CAP) where the shortlisted candidates from all participating IIMs appear for WAT and PI rounds jointly.
After the CAT selection procedure ends, each IIM releases their separate merit lists. The final selection process of B-schools or the CAT selection procedure of participating B-schools is based on multiple criteria such as performance in CAT and GD/WAT and PI rounds and past academic records and/or work experience. The criteria or parameters vary from institute to institute. IIMs release their detailed admission criteria after the CAT notification every year.
CAT 2022 was slightly more difficult as compared to CAT 2021.
There was a marginal difference in the level of difficulty among the slots with slot 1 being the most difficult, followed by slot 3 and then slot 2.
Which IIM conducts CAT has no correlation with how tough the paper would be. Students should not subscribe to any such speculations or conjectures while preparing for this exam.
Over the years, we have found that 99%ile lies at about half the total score of CAT. In CAT 2022, the expected score to get 99 %ile is in the range of 95-97.
Like every year, we at Career Launcher will bring to you the most accurate and detailed CAT Exam Analysis after each slot. So, make sure you bookmark CAT Exam Corner for CAT Paper Analysis, Score Calculator, Percentile Prediction and more.
