what the hell benefit of top 20 percentile if a student is in top 20 percentile then he will have definitely scored 75% then what is the difference how can a student can be in top 20 percentile if he had not scored 75%
Dear Aspirant
In some boards , like odisha board , the marking criteria is quite strict. Thus the top 20 percentile means to be in top 20% of students. For odisha board in 2017, it was 331 out of 500 marks . This means that the person with 66.2% marks was eligible. So you see, if you have scored above 75% marks then you are eligible. But for the sake of students from other board, top 20 percentile was introduced.
Hope this answer helps.
Best of Luck
