The formula to calculate the Gate Percentile is:
\[ G = \left( \frac{N - R}{N} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
The Gate Percentile is a measure of your performance compared to the total number of candidates. It shows the percentage of candidates you have outperformed in the exam. A higher percentile indicates a better performance relative to other candidates.
Example 1:
Step 1: Subtract your current rank from the total number of candidates:
\[ 1000 - 50 = 950 \]
Step 2: Divide the result by the total number of candidates:
\[ \frac{950}{1000} = 0.95 \]
Step 3: Multiply by 100 to get the percentile:
\[ 0.95 \times 100 = 95 \]
The Gate Percentile (G) is 95%.
Example 2:
Step 1: Subtract your current rank from the total number of candidates:
\[ 500 - 100 = 400 \]
Step 2: Divide the result by the total number of candidates:
\[ \frac{400}{500} = 0.8 \]
Step 3: Multiply by 100 to get the percentile:
\[ 0.8 \times 100 = 80 \]
The Gate Percentile (G) is 80%.
