CAT Score vs Percentile Trends (2020–2024)

Body

  • In 2020, with a total of 228 marks, you needed about 101 marks for 99 percentile and 63 marks for 90 percentile.

  • From 2021, the total marks dropped to 198, and the cutoffs began to slide.

  • By 2024, a 99 percentile could be secured at just 95 marks, while the 90 percentile settled around 58 marks.

This shows the percentile isn’t tied to fixed scores  it changes with exam difficulty and total marks. For aspirants, the real game is about relative performance and accuracy, not chasing an absolute number.
