arun: ADMISSION TO TOP CLGS BY GIVING DONATION, POSSIBLE?
tanveer: Focus on studies Edit
________________________________
samy: TANVIR SIR, I HAVE DONE ONLY 65 ATTEMPTS IN MAT. HOW MUCH
PERCENTILE EXPECTED..
tanveer: The consolidated score is evaluated by taking only four areas
into account. Indian and Global Environment (GK) is not the part of
the consolidated score. Hence, the scoring is done out of a maximum
possible score of 160 marks(@1 mark for 160 qs). However, the score
card(by AIMA) doesnot give the net marks. It gives the scaled score
and the percentile in each and every section. It also gives the
overall composite score and the overall percentile. It is estimated
that a net score of 65 marks (excluding the score in GK) will fetch an
overall percentile of more than 95. Any net score of more than 80
marks(excluding the score in GK) is considered outstanding and is
equivalent to an overall percentile of more than 99 Edit
