MICAT Result 2026: Calculation of Score Normalisation

• The candidate’s score will be divided into subsections, i.e., MICAT-Phase I/ Phase II, and then it will be normalised using statistical methods.
• Score normalisation will be done for each subsection.
• The scores of all qualified candidates will be considered up to the point the candidate is eligible in order to decide the normalised score.
• The normalised score is calculated throughout all four subsections, i.e. MICAT Phase I/ MICAT Phase II etc.

Here is the formula to calculate the normalised score:

Scaled score/ normalised score: Suppose a candidate scores “N” in their Quantitative Reasoning (QR). The way the normalised score will be calculated is (N divided by the maximum number obtained by any candidate who appeared in QR in MICAT Phase I/ MICAT Phase II).
