In NEET, marks, rank, and percentile are related together to define a candidate’s performance. NEET marks are the raw score out of the NEET total marks (720). These are calculated based on correct and incorrect answers which can be checked from the NEET answer key. The NEET marks determine the percentile, which reflects how a candidate performed in comparison to others; it is the percentage of students who scored less than them. A higher score generally means a higher percentile. The NEET rank is a candidate’s position among all NEET test takers and is inversely related to marks and percentile—higher marks and percentiles lead to a lower (better) rank. However, due to variations in exam difficulty and the number of test-takers each year, the exact relationship between marks, percentile, and rank may vary slightly.
The NEET marks vs percentile range keeps on varying year by year. There is no fixed mark that corresponds to a particular percentile. The factors that affects the NEET marks vs percentile are:
The number of candidates who appeared for the test
The overall performance of students.
