The CAT 2021 answer key will help students to calculate their probable percentile and plan accordingly. They can also raise objections if any. The objection management tab would be open from December 8, 10 am up to December 11, 5 pm. It must be noted that the objections will be accepted only for a certain period of time. Once the objection window will be closed, no further requests shall be entertained in this regard.
According to experts, the cut-off for admission to top B-schools might see a dip this year — around 85 percentile. The exam had fewer questions when compared to last year that made the paper even more difficult. Hence, the cut-offs are bound to go down this year. Further, the lengthy passages in the VARC section and LRDI sets were time-consuming thus there were fewer attempts by the aspirants.

CAT 2021: How is percentile calculated?
Step 1: Calculate the total number of candidates (N) who appeared for CAT including all three slots — morning, afternoon, and evening sessions
Step 2: Assign a rank (r), based on the scaled scores obtained in a section
Step 3: Now, you can calculate the percentile score (P) by using this formula:
P = (N − r / N) x 100
Step 4: Round off the calculated percentile score (P) up to two decimal points
The CAT 2021 result is likely to be declared by the first week of January 2022. Candidates securing the minimum required percentile will get a call from IIMs depending upon their score. Aspirants can also apply to other management colleges on the basis of their CAT scores.
