• The NTA scores are normalised scores across multi-session papers. They are based on the relative performance of all the candidates who appeared for the examination in one session.
• The marks obtained by the candidates are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
• The NTA score of a candidate indicates the percentage of the candidates who have scored equal to or below (same or lower raw score) that particular candidate in that session.
• A candidate who secures an NTA score of 100 indicates that he or she is the topper and no one else has scored more than him or her.
