Dear aspirant,

Hope you are doing well,

The percentile is a statistical interpretation of data in which it changes every year. As it depends on candidates participated in exam at the particular year. For same marks the percentile will be changing every year. So it is not possible to calculate the CET marks without the proper data.

For percentile calculation the following fomulae is used:

{(No. of students having marks less than 57) / (Total number of students that appeared in the examination)} * 100

You can convert a rank k into a percentile by: Computing 100k/N. This value will range from 100/N through 100N/N=100. Note the asymmetry: the highest is 100 but the lowest is nonzero.

So as you see that you have to know the data of how many students that has scored below your percentile or marks and then the total number of student that appeared for the examination. If you know this values you can calculate it. Without that information it will be difficult to predict percentile or marks.

Good luck

Hello aspirant!
Hope you are doing well!

Percentile Score is the score based on the relative performance of candidates who have appeared for the exam. To calculate a percentile score, the marks secured are converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.

NOTE : Percentile score is not the same as the percentage of marks secured.


To convert marks into percentile, there is a very simple formula that is used-

100 *No of students who appeared in the session with RAW score equal to/ less than candidate score/ Total number of candidates who appeared in the session.
