Predict your Percentile based on your CMAT performance
Predict NowThe CMAT 2024 percentile predictor will be made available after the CMAT exam is successfully conducted in the first week of May 2024. The CMAT 2024 results will be released in the last week of May2024, and a decent CMAT 2024 score might fall between 250 and 350 marks out of 400. The CMAT rank predictor tool 2024 will calculate the percentile score of a candidate on the CMAT exam based on the number of correct questions and incorrect questions answered by the test takers. The benefit of using the percentile predictor is to let candidates understand their position in terms of admission to the management institutes that accept CMAT scores for admission in their PGDM/MBA courses. Since the CMAT rank predictor can provide students with an estimate of their performance in the CMAT in terms of percentile scores, candidates can start preparing for further rounds of admission even before the results are announced using their estimated percentile scores and rank.
The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is a management entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), India. It is a national-level entrance exam for facilitating institutions to select suitable students for admission in all management programs approved by AICTE. Once the exam is over, the test takers can get a fair idea of how they did in the exam by using the CMAT 2024 percentile predictor.
Since CMAT 2024 is a national-level exam, the number of its applicants reaches thousands with an average of 70,000 applications every year approximately. Since there are so many takers of the exam, the competition level for the exam is pretty high. It is natural for candidates to become curious to know their percentile so that they may ascertain whether they will meet the CMAT cutoff for their preferred MBA/PGDM colleges and appear on the merit list for the same. To cater to this requirement, CollegeDekho has taken the initiative of calculating the expected percentile through the CMAT 2024 Percentile Predictor tool.

The CMAT Rank Predictor is a simple tool to use for everyone. Aspirants can know their potential CMAT score by following the simple steps mentioned below:
Note: Candidates can also use the CMAT College Predictor to find out which colleges they can secure MBA admission at easily with their CMAT score/percentile.
It must be noted that the CMAT Percentile score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained in the exam. Also, the CMAT 2024 Score is not an aggregate or average of the raw score of every individual subject. The CMAT Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw marks) the candidates. This is the score that the CMAT rank predictor helps candidates estimate.
CMAT 2024 percentile is calculated on the basis of the rank of the student vs the number of students who appeared in the CMAT 2024 exam. For this, the formula given below is applied:
Percentile (P) = N (Total No. of Candidates Appeared in CMAT Exam) – Rank of the Candidate divided by N multiplied by 100 |
|---|
Check the example below for a better understanding.
Example
Let us assume that 50,000 candidates appeared for the exam. The percentile of 5 students might be as follows:
Name of the Student | CMAT AIR (All India Rank) | CMAT Percentile (as per formula mentioned above) |
|---|---|---|
A | 1 | Percentile = 50000 – 1/50000 X 100 = 99.9 |
B | 7 | Percentile = 50000 – 7/50000 X 100 = 98.6 |
C | 11 | Percentile = 50000 – 11/50000 X 100 = 97.8 |
X | 22 | Percentile = 50000 – 22/50000 X 100 = 95.6 |
Y | 120 | Percentile = 50000 – 120/50000 X 100 = 76 |
Z | 230 | Percentile = 50000 – 230/50000 X 100 = 54 |
Note: Even though the CMAT percentile score is determined, the rank allotment is completely based on the overall score secured by the candidates. The score generated by the CMAT rank predictor is the percentile score.
The table below explains the process to calculate the CMAT 2024 score with examples, let us have a look at it for a better understanding of the process:
Name of the Student | Questions Answered | No. of Correct Answers | No. of Wrong Answers | Marks Awarded for Correct Answers | Marks Deducted for Incorrect Answers | CMAT Final Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
X | 97 | 90 | 7 | 90 X 4 = 360 | -7 | 360 – 7 = 353 |
Y | 100 | 78 | 22 | 78 X 4 = 312 | -22 | 312 – 22 = 290 |
Z | 100 | 84 | 16 | 84 X 4 = 336 | -16 | 336 – 16 = 320 |
A | 100 | 62 | 38 | 62 X 4 = 248 | -38 | 248 – 38 = 210 |
Note: As per the above example, wrong answers by students will have a negative impact on the overall CMAT score.
