Percentile Score Calculation:
Percentile score of each Candidate will reflect what Percentage of Candidates have scored below that Candidate in Entrance Examination.
The Percentile Score of a Candidate will be calculated by using the formula
= (No. of Candidates from the group with aggregate mark less than a candidate X 100) / No. of Candidates appeared in the exam
Example:
If 3888 Candidates appeared and a Candidate who has scored 60% marks and has 2500 Candidates below him; his Percentile score will be calculated as follows
Percentile Score of 60% Marks in the Entrance Examination = (2500 X 100)/ 3888
Hence, Percentile score = 64.3004
Method of Resolving Ties:
1. Negative Marks: The candidate who have less negative mark will be placed higher than that of the other candidate.
2.Age: If still the tie exists, the candidate elder by age will be ranked higher
3. High Aggregate marks (MBBS): The Candidate who have high aggregate mark will be placed higher than that of the other candidate.
Merit List:
Merit Ranking would be based on percentile score.
Merit List would be drawn category wise based on minimum percentile as given below:
