    To calculate the percentile of a candidate, the IIM (conducting the exam) follows the CAT marking scheme. The answers will be checked and a raw score will be determined. This raw score will be adjusted through a process called as equating. Then, that score will be normalized across the three sections. Thereafter the normalized score secured by the candidates will be further converted into percentiles for the purposes of shortlisting. However, the exact procedure (including a formula, if any) hasn't been explicitly mentioned by the IIMs, quite strange.
