What is Percentile Scores in RRB Group D?

Is Percentile Score Same as Percentage of Marks?

The percentile score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained. 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 shift will get the same percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate percentiles.

Use of Percentile Score in RRB NTPC Normalisation & Merit List

The percentile score will be the normalized score for the examination (instead of the raw marks of the candidate) and shall be used for the preparation of the merit lists. The Percentile score of a Candidate for a particular shift will be calculated as below:

Percentile Score =Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Shift’ with  raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate/The total number of the candidates who appeared in the ’Shift’ X 1000

The percentile scores for the raw score of all the candidates for all the shifts will be merged and calledthe RRC scores which will then be used for the compilation of results and further processing for deciding the merit allocation. The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 5 decimal places to avoid the bunching effect and reduce ties.

What if two or more candidates secure Normalized Percentile Score?

In case of two or more candidates secure same Normalized Percentile Score, their merit position will be determined by age criteria i.e., older person will be placed at higher merit and in case age being same, then alphabetical order (A to Z) of the name shall be taken into account to break the tie.
