What is top 20 percentile system . Is it only for IIT .
'Top 20 percentile' in any exam means that you are among the top 20% of all the students who appeared in that exam and other 80% are below you...
Mathematically, percentile= number of student below you/number of students who appeared in the exam....
Hope this helps...
It is for IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.
