What the 100 Percentile Means for All India Rank (AIR)
It is important to note that a 100 percentile does not automatically mean AIR 1 for everyone in this list. The final All India Rank (AIR) will be determined after the April Session (Session 2) concludes. NTA will use a tie-breaking policy—prioritizing scores in Mathematics, followed by Physics and Chemistry—to assign unique ranks. If a tie remains, the ratio of incorrect to correct answers is considered.
