- For choosing multiple options as the answer, 1/4 marks are deducted

How to Calculate Percentile in TANCET 2024
A frequent query among the candidates checking the TANCET 2024 result is ‘how is percentile score calculated’. TANCET percentile score reflects an individual test taker’s performance compared to other candidates and does not consider marking scheme into account.
| The percentile score calculation process is as follows: |
|---|
| TANCET Percentile Mark = Y/N × 100 |
In the table above, N refers to the total number of candidates who took the TANCET exam for that particular course. Whereas Y denotes the total number of candidates with an actual score lower than a particular candidate.
For example, Aman has an actual score of 57, in case he wants to calculate the TANCET MBA percentile score, he should know the total number of candidates who took the MBA exam. Additionally, Aman must know the number of TANCET MBA test takers who have an actual score lower than 57 marks.
In case 23710 candidates took the TANCET MBA exam, and 12500 candidates have an actual score of less than 57 marks, the calculation of Aman’s percentile score in the TANCET MBA exam will be done as mentioned below:
- Y = 12500
- N = 23710
Aman’s Percentile Score in TANCET MBA = 12500/23710 × 100
Based on the explanation above, Aman’s TANCET percentile score, who secured 57 actual marks, will be 52.72%
