                          (Total number of the candidates who appeared)

• The NTA Score/ CMAT Percentile denotes the percentage of candidates who have scored equal or lesser than a candidate. E.g. If, out of 10000 candidates who attempted the exam, Candidate ‘A’ secured No.1 rank. His CMAT percentile will be:

• Percentile (P) = 10000 -  1  * 100 = 99.99
                          10000 

• A candidate with rank 3 will have a percentile of 99.97. Percentile is calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid bunching effect.
