TANCET Percentile Score vs TANCET Marks

The TANCET results include several details including both TANCET marks and TANCET percentile score. TANCET marks refer to the actual score in the TANCET exam calculated based on the marking scheme. Whereas, the TANCET percentile score is the comparative performance depicting how well you did in the exam as compared to other candidates. The percentile score in TANCET does not take into account the negative marking.

Calculation of Percentile Score in TANCET 2025

The formula to calculate the TANCET percentile score is as follows:
TANCET Percentile Score: (Y/N)*100

Here, Y denotes the total number of test takers having a lower score. Whereas, N denotes the total number of candidates who took the TANCET exam. A candidate with a 97 per cent score indicates that he/she scored better than 97 per cent of the test takers in TANCET 2025.
