This year, the registrations have marked 2,32,434 numbers of applications for CAT 2016 as against 2,18,664 registrations in the test last year. It is also encouraging to note that almost half of the around 14,000 additional applications this year had come from women candidates.

The exam scores are normalised in order to ensure equality in awarding marks to candidates based on the level of difficulty in the questions they attempted. This was introduced as the exam took place in multiple slots and the question paper differed from one slot to another.

This type of marking in CAT score card is referred to as 'scaled score'and marks are given in terms of percentile. Avidipto Chakraborty is the topper of CAT 2016. He has cracked the exam with a 100 percentile in his very first attempt itself.
