NTA Score (Percentile) Explained
Your rank is based on percentile, not raw marks
Percentile Formula
NTA Percentile = (Number of candidates who scored ≤ your raw score ÷ Total candidates appeared) × 100
Example: If 12,00,000 candidates appeared and 11,88,000 scored ≤ your score, your percentile = (11,88,000 ÷ 12,00,000) × 100 = 99.0 percentile.
*Ranks are approximate based on ~13 lakh candidates. Actual ranks vary by year.
