JK SET Score VS Percentile

Scores in the JK SET papers are given out of 300: 100 in Paper I and 200 in Paper II. In Paper I of the JK SET, there are a total of 50 MCQs, each having a weightage of 2-mark. Whereas, in paper II, there are a total of 100 MCQs, and each question carries a 2-mark. This means that each candidate’s final score will be measured out of 300: Paper I + Paper II.

JK SET percentile is calculated out of 100. Percentile refers to the statistical measure indicating the relative position of a particular score within a distribution. If a student’s total exam score is at the 75th percentile, it means that their score is higher than 75% of the scores in the distribution.

Consider this example: Candidates belonging to the General category must secure a minimum of 40% marks in both papers. It means 40 marks in Paper I + 80 marks in Paper II. This will sum up to 120 out of 300.

How to Calculate Score VS Percentile

To calculate percentiles, scores are arranged in ascending order and positions of a specific score are determined within the distribution. Here’s a simple formula with which you can easily calculate the percentile rank:

Percentile rank = (Number of scores below any given value/ Total number of scores) X 100

Here’s an example: Suppose a candidate scores 200 in the JK SET and wants to find his/ her percentile rank of 150 and he or she wants to determine the 130 scores below 150, then the percentile rank would be as follows: (130/200) X 100 = 65%.

Scores and percentile ranks are used to determine or evaluate information about any data. Scores give you the actual values of individual observations, whereas percentiles provide a relative measure of where a score stands within the entire distribution. Percentiles are particularly useful for comparing scores and understanding their relative standing in a dataset.
