Hello Shanker,

Top 20 percentile is a eligigbility criteria set for qualifying JEE where in you should be one of the top performers. 

For example: In a class of 1000, your score is 60%.

Lets say 400 people score below your percentage, then top 20% for yours will be calculated as - 400/1000*100= 40

Now your score is 60% but the top 20 percentile is 40

Hope this explaantion finds you well!

Howmany students have been outperformed by you in exam is indicated by percentile.Top 20 means you are ahead of 80% of the students who have written exam with you
