12. Marks = Tells how much you got out of 100 Rank= Tells your position (how much students before you) Percentile= Tells how much students behind you (0-100) Gate Score= Intellectual level of student (used for admission) (0 to 1000) Gate Result Marks……… Rank……….. Percentile… Gate Score.. V.P.Katekar

13. GATE Percentile Score The percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates who appeared in the same paper and scored less marks than him/her. It is calculated as follows: ((Total No of Students appeared in your subject- Your Rank)/(Total No of students-1))*100 Suppose 200000 people appeared in the exam Example 1 Your rank is 100 Percentile = ((200000-100)/(200000-1))*100 = 99.95% Example 2 Your rank is 1 Percentile = ((200000-1)/(200000-1))*100 = 100% Example 3 Your rank is 200000 Percentile = ((200000-200000)/(200000-1))*100 = 0% V.P.Katekar

14. the GATE score is computed from S = Sq + ( S t - S q ) ( M - M q ) / ( M t - M q ) where, S = GATE Score (normalised) of a candidate, M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper, M q = Qualifying marks for general category candidates in the paper, M t = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper, S t = GATE Score assigned to M t (around 900), and S q = GATE Score assigned to M q (around 300). M q is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or μ+σ, whichever is higher. Here μ is the mean of marks in a paper and σ is the standard deviation. V.P.Katekar
