Understanding Your CAT Scorecard
Your CAT 2025 scorecard shows your performance in the exam. It includes two main types of scores: your overall score and your sectional scores. Sectional scores are for each part of the exam, like Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation, and Logical Reasoning. Most importantly, it shows your overall percentile and sectional percentiles . A percentile shows how many candidates scored less than you. For example, a 90 percentile means you scored better than 90% of the students who took the exam.
Next Steps: Interviews and College Selection
After the results, IIMs and other top MBA colleges will start inviting candidates for the next stage of admissions. This process, called Personal Interview (PI) shortlisting, will begin from the first week of January 2026 . Candidates who meet the required cut-off scores will be called for interviews, group discussions (GD), and written ability tests (WAT).
The CAT 2025 cut-offs , which are the minimum percentile scores needed for admission, will be officially released along with these PI shortlists. It is crucial for students to check the cut-offs for their preferred colleges and prepare for the interview rounds.
