Hello Munish,

Yes, it's possible to see discrepancies where lower percentile candidates have higher ranks in exams like INI CET, though it may seem unusual at first. Here’s why this might happen:

1. Tie-Breaker Mechanism: When multiple candidates have the same percentile or score, the rank is often determined by tie-breaking rules. These rules can involve factors like age, marks in individual sections, or even the candidate's performance in specific subjects. As a result, candidates with the same percentile might have different ranks due to these secondary factors.
   
   
2. Category-Based Rankings: INI CET ranks can differ based on the candidate's category (General, OBC, SC, etc.). For example, a candidate in the SC or OBC category might have a higher rank than someone in the General category, even if their percentile is lower. The percentile for category-based reservations might differ as well.
   
   
3. Percentile vs. Rank: A percentile indicates how a candidate performed relative to others, but rank depends on the number of candidates in each percentile band. Some percentile ranges could have fewer candidates, leading to a higher rank for those with slightly lower percentiles.

If you're analyzing results and see such discrepancies, it's likely due to these mechanisms. If you believe there is a mistake, it's a good idea to contact the examination authorities for clarification or review.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

The results of the INI CET January 2025 have raised some concerns about the rank and percentile discrepancies. For instance, a case like a candidate with rank 171 with a percentile of 96.919 and another candidate holding rank 321 but a percentile of 99.450 raises concern about anomalies in the results.

This may be due to several factors, such as tie-breaking policies or errors in result compilation. According to AIIMS' result guidelines, ties are generally resolved based on fewer negative marks and the candidate's age. However, if these principles do not match with the discrepancies that are observed, then it might point to a technical glitch in the result processing.

Candidates who notice such discrepancies are advised to raise queries directly with the AIIMS examination authority through their official channels. Checking the published result PDF for further clarity or contacting AIIMS for resolution is also recommended
