Hello,


Percentile scores are based on the relative performance of all those candidates who appear for the examination. It obtained after transforming the scores into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.

Percentile Score shows the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below a particular percentile in an exam.It is the normalized score and not the raw scores.After normalization, each topper of a session will get the same percentile of 100 which is the desirable one. Also the marks between the lowest and highest scores are also converted to the respective percentiles.
