How ATMA Rank and Percentile Are Calculated
ATMA does not assign a national rank number. Your score goes through a three-step process before becoming a percentile:
- Raw Score: +1 for every correct answer and –0.25 for every wrong answer. Unattempted questions carry no penalty. Maximum raw score is 180.
- Scaled Score: AIMS normalises raw scores across all exam sessions to produce a scaled score out of 800. This corrects for any variation in difficulty between test dates.
- Percentile: Percentile = (Number of students who scored below you ÷ Total students who appeared) × 100. A 90 percentile means you scored higher than 90% of all ATMA takers in that session.
Your ATMA scorecard displays your raw score, scaled score, and section-wise scaled scores. Colleges evaluate your percentile for shortlisting; raw marks are not shared with institutes directly.
