Late today on Dec 22 or early tomorrow on Dec 23, CAT 2014 result declaration date is going to be announced before the CAT 2014 final result is declared. There is no cause of panic now as CAT Centre has sorted out the technical glitches and score normalization process checks are at the final stage.

CAT 2014 test takers can now feel relaxed since the final activity is going on in the processing of CAT 2014 result and in all probability the CAT 2014 may not be delayed further. Speculation on CAT 2014 results whether they would be announced as per the schedule is going to end now. While the gigantic task of processing the result and normalizing the scores of 1.70 lakhs of CAT 2014 test takers is not an easy one, CAT Centre 2014is making all out efforts to keep the promise of declaring the result in a day or two.

Expect the short list soon

Along with the CAT 2014 result, you may expect the shortlist for final admission round. The copy of CAT 2014 result is expected to be with the IIMs to declare their short list on time although the CAT 2014 result declaration is delayed by a few days.

A fair and transparent result

CAT 2014 result is expected to be transparent ensuring full fairness in score normalization. CAT Centre 2014 has declared ‘In order to ensure fairness and equity in comparison of  performances of the candidates across different test sessions, the scores of the candidates shall be subjected to a process of  Normalization. The Normalization process to be implemented shall adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms and the scaled scores obtained by this process shall be converted into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting. For purposes of reporting, Scaled Scores for each Section (Section I: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation, Section II: Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning) and Total along with the Percentile shall be published’

CAT result: Past exam trends

CAT results were used to be declared in the second or third week of January every year. In earlier CAT exams most of the times the result was declared in the wee hours of the appointed date or a bit late in the morning.

No doubt CAT Centre 2014 is processing the result very fast and will shortly  declare the CAT 2014 result. There is no need to panic among the CAT 2014 takers.

Next CAT 2015: Result may not take even a month

Despite the fact that in CAT 2014 the testing window was short and result processing has also got a short span before declaration of result for almost same number of test takers as appeared in CAT 2013, the result is going to be declared 3 weeks before, than in earlier CAT exams.

Once the result of CAT 2014 is declared, the next CAT 2015 might be further shortened to single session single day exam and its result might be declared in a fortnight also as it will be easy to assess well the performance in a single format single session exam.

No more panic

CAT 2014 convener Dr Rohit Kapoor has emphasised on ensuring to arrive at the glitch free and transparent result before declaring the CAT 2014 result. This despite causing a bit of delay will ensure transparency in percentile calculation and score normalization. Dr Kapoor has said that the result declaration date is proposed to be announced once all the activities and final checks on CAT 2014 result processing are over.

CAT 2014 takers now do not need to remain panicky as the exact date of CAT 2014 result is going to be announced today or tomorrow. In all probability the result will shortly follow the announcement of result declaration date.
