NTA score is not the same as the percentage of marks obtained. The percentile or NTA scores are normalised across multisession papers and based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the examination in one session. The final ranks of the candidates are released taking into consideration the best of the two NTA scores.
The examination was conducted in 13 languages — Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu — across 574 centres in 287 cities (including 17 cities outside India).
