How NTA Calculates Percentile

This ensures fairness despite different difficulty levels across exam shifts.
Tie-Breaking Rule for Same Percentile
If two students score the same percentile:
- Higher Maths score
- Higher Physics score
- Higher Chemistry score
- Fewer incorrect answers
If still tied, candidates may share the same rank.
Marks vs Percentile (Expected Range)
- 99 percentile: ~160–190 marks
