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>

<p>The percentile score is the normalized score for the examination (instead of the raw marks of the candidate) and is used for the preparation of the merit lists. The percentile score of a candidate for a particular shift is calculated below:</p><p>Percentile Score=Number of candidates appeared in the &lsquo;Shift&rsquo; with &nbsp;raw score EQUAL TO or LESS than the candidate/The total number of the candidates who appeared in the &rsquo;Shift&rsquo; X 1000</p><p>The percentile scores for the raw score of all the candidates for all the shifts are merged and called the RRC scores which then is used for the compilation of results and further processing for deciding the merit allocation. The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 5 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect and reduce ties.</p><p>In case of two or more candidates secure same Normalized Percentile Score, their merit position will be determined by age criteria i.e., the older person will be placed at higher merit, and in case age being same, then alphabetical order (A to Z) of the name shall be taken into account to break the tie.</p>
