Correction Form: If any corrections need to be made to the CAT-2023 Data for the 10th, 12th, UG percentage/CGPA, and Professional Qualification, there is an option to do so on the CAP-2024 form. Once the change has been done, the candidate will receive an acknowledgment mentioning the correction requested for. After completing the CAP-2024 form, no additional corrections will be permitted.

For computing percentages of marks obtained in SSC/10th/Equivalent examination and HSC/12th/Equivalent/Diploma examination, the total marks obtained in all the subjects that appear in the mark sheet/grade sheet would be considered, irrespective of the respective Boards regulation.

Maximum Marks (inclusive of all subjects) indicate the summation of maximum marks of all subjects (including electives, if any). For example, if there are five subjects with 100 marks assigned to each subject, the candidate should populate the `Maximum Marks (inclusive of all subjects)’ placeholder as 500. Total marks obtained (inclusive of all subjects) indicate the summation of actual marks obtained by the candidate in all subjects (including electives, if any). For example, if the candidate has obtained 457 marks by adding individual marks obtained in the five subjects, the candidate should populate the `Total marks obtained (inclusive of all subjects)’ placeholder as 457.

The Aggregate Percentage should be entered as an accurate value, rounded off to 2 decimals,

Example A: If Maximum Marks = 600. Total Marks Obtained = 421 then Aggregate Percentage = 70.16666. This needs to be rounded off to 70.17.

Example B: If Maximum Marks = 600. Total Marks Obtained = 416 then Aggregate Percentage = 69.33333 This needs to be rounded off to 69.33.
 

For graduates and postgraduates, the aggregate percentage of marks awarded by the Board/Institute/University will be treated as final. If the Institute/University does not award the aggregate percentage of marks, it will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the mark sheet.

If any Board/Institute/University awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board/Institute/University specifying the equivalent marks or the conversion procedure, and the conversion to percentage of marks would be based on this procedure as certified by the respective board/University/Institution. If any board /University/Institution confirms that there is no scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate's CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA, and multiplying the result with 100. The original equivalence certificate needs to be submitted at the time of interview, if shortlisted for the interview.

In case of grades/CGPA, the conversion to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure as certified by the respective Board/University/Institution. If any Board/University/Institution confirms that there is no scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate's CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100.
