Percentile scores are the scores based on relative performance of all those who sat for that particular examination. The marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees. The percentile score becomes the normalised score instead of the raw marks secured by the candidate. According to the NTA website, the final score will indicate a candidate's performance vis-a-vis others who appeared in the test. Therefore, the result is an indicator of the relative position of the candidate among those who appeared for the test.
