Many students get confused about these terms. Let's decode each component clearly:

Indicates your performance relative to other candidates.
Your All India Rank among pathology candidates specifically.
Percentile determines eligibility, not raw marks. You need to cross the cutoff percentile to qualify for counselling, regardless of your raw score.
| Category | Expected Percentile Cutoff | Approximate Marks Range | Qualifying Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 50th Percentile | 200-220 marks | Eligible for counselling |
| OBC / EWS | 45th Percentile | 180-200 marks | Eligible for counselling |
| SC / ST / PwD | 40th Percentile | 160-180 marks | Eligible for counselling |
If your name doesn't appear in the qualified candidates list, it means:
Your percentile score was below the minimum qualifying percentile for your category
