CMAT cut-off percentiles are determined based on several key factors. For MBA admissions in 2025, each participating institute will set its minimum CMAT 2025 cut-off marks by considering the following:

- Cut-off trends from previous years.
- The overall pass percentage of candidates in CMAT 2025.

CMAT raw scores are converted into percentile score on a scale of 10 to 100 percentile. The percentile here means that you are ahead of the particular percent of students. It is calculated using the individual rank and the total number of candidates who appeared for the exam. CMAT Percentile is calculated using the formula:
CMAT Percentile P = ( (N- your rank)/ N) x 100
where,
P is percentile
N is the total number of candidates who appeared for the exam
