To calculate the CMAT percentile score, you can use the following formula:
Percentile P = (Number of candidates appeared in the examination with raw marks equal to or less than the candidate / Total number of candidates appeared) x 100
For example, if 10,000 candidates appeared in CMAT and a candidate scored the highest marks (365/400), their rank will be 1 and the CMAT percentile score will be:
Percentile P = (9999/10000) x 100 = 99.99
