Hi Naveen, 

Percentile is calculating based on the highest mark in the exam and the number of students attended the exam. For example, 100 students are attending a test, Naveen topped the exam. So this means that your performance is better than the remaining 99 students, so your percentile will be 99. Again,  If your rank had been 40th, which means your score is better than 60 people hence your percentile 60. 

If you have a good percentile you can apply in the following institutions. :-

NIT Warangal 

Sardar Vallabhai Patel Institute of Textile Management Studies

Lovely Professional University

XIME

VIT

Christ University. 

 Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur

These institutes have good placement record. Example Lovely Professional University 21 LPA, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur 15 LPA

Hope this information will help you. Please be careful and wise in choosing the right for you. My best wishes. 

Good Luck!

Hello Naveen, 

Percentile below means the number of students who scored less than you. Suppose if you have received 90 percentile, it shows that 90% of the candidates who had appeared for the exam have secured lesser percentile.

Hope this helps.

Let us know in case you need further clarifications.
