?Which word?
Do not confuse percentile (your position compared with everyone else) and percentage (a part out of a hundred), since a 99 percentile score means you did better than 99 per cent of candidates, not that you got 99 per cent of the marks.
Percentile (बाकी सभी की तुलना में आपकी स्थिति) और percentage (सौ में से हिस्सा) में confuse न करें, क्योंकि 99 percentile का अर्थ है कि आपने 99 प्रतिशत उम्मीदवारों से बेहतर किया, न कि आपको 99 प्रतिशत अंक मिले।
