As per the official website, "The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore the topper (highest score) of each session gets the same Percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles."

Therefore, the highest scorer always gets 100th Percentile that also means 100% candidates have scored equal to or less than raw score of 75 and 0% of candidates have scored more than 75 raw score.

• A candidate with 90.1224411 Percentile Score and 71 Raw Score means that 90.1224411% candidates scored equal to or less than 71 raw score and remaining candidates scored more than 71 raw scored.

• The lowest percentile in each session depends on the total number of candidates appeared in the exam in that session.

• Using the above Formula percentile for each candidate with raw score can be awarded.
