What is the formula to calculate the percentile based marks?

<p>The percentile score, which is used to create merit lists, is the exam's normalised score rather than the candidate's raw score. The following formula determines a candidate's percentile score for a specific shift:</p><p>The percentile score is calculated by dividing the total number of candidates that participated in the "Shift" by 1000 and calculating the number of candidates whose raw scores were equal to or lower than the candidate.</p><p>The RRC scores, which are used for results compilation and additional processing to determine merit allocation, are created by combining the percentile scores for each candidate's raw score for each shift. To minimise ties and prevent the bunching effect, the Percentile Scores will be computed up to five decimal places.</p><p>When more than one candidate receives the same Normalised Percentile Score, the older candidate will be given a higher merit rating; if the two candidates' ages are equal, the alphabetical order of their names (A to Z) will be used to break the tie.</p>

<div>The percentile score is the normalised score and it is used to prepare the merit list. The percentile score of all candidates is merged to arrive at the RRC scores</div>
