Understanding Your Scorecard
The CAT 2025 scorecard displays several key pieces of information. It includes the candidate’s overall scaled score and sectional scaled scores for Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (QA). Each section also shows a corresponding percentile.
The percentile indicates a candidate’s performance relative to other test takers. For example, a 99 percentile means the candidate performed better than 99% of all examinees. This figure is crucial for determining eligibility for various management programs.

Next Steps for Candidates
The CAT 2025 scorecard is a prerequisite for the subsequent stages of the admission process. These stages often include a Written Ability Test (WAT), Personal Interview (PI), and Group Discussion (GD) rounds. Each participating IIM and non-IIM institution establishes its own specific criteria for shortlisting candidates.
The Written Ability Test (WAT) assesses a candidate’s ability to articulate thoughts effectively in writing. The Group Discussion (GD) evaluates teamwork, leadership, and communication skills within a group setting. The Personal Interview (PI) assesses personality, communication skills, academic background, and future aspirations.
Shortlisted candidates will receive invitations for these rounds directly from the respective institutes. Admission criteria typically combine CAT scores with academic performance, work experience, and performance in the WAT/PI/GD rounds. Candidates should regularly monitor the official websites of their target management institutions for updates on cutoff scores, shortlisting criteria, and admission timelines.
