Percentile is calculated by the ratio of the number of values to the total number of values . You cant say/depict your actual score from your percentile. To calculate the actual score you would need to know the number of students who appeared in the examination and the highest score, average cut offs and the highest score. while as marks are calculated based on the right questions you have attempted, out of the total marks you have obtained for the right number of questions marks from wrong questions marked are deducted from the total.

Hello Aspirant,

According to the marks you have mentioned in the question your percentile would be in the range of 99.17-99.37and your rank would lies in between 5623-7223. On the basis of this rank and percentile you can easily get into top NITs like NIT Bhopal, NIT Uttarakhand, NIT Calicut and so on as per previous year's cut-offs. See difficulty level of paper is decided through the marks obtained by different candidates and therefore to avoid partiality with any candidate percentile system has been adopted.

You can check out the cut-offs for top NITs from the link given below :-
