    The GATE is used as a requirement for financial assistance (e.g. scholarships) for a number of programs, though criteria differ by admitting institution. [2] In December 2015, the University Grants Commission and MHRD announced that the scholarship for GATE-qualified master's degree students is increased by 55% from ₹ 8,000 (US$96) per month to ₹ 12,400 (US$150) per month.

  3. Percentile rank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile_rank

    The figure illustrates the percentile rank computation and shows how the 0.5 × F term in the formula ensures that the percentile rank reflects a percentage of scores less than the specified score. For example, for the 10 scores shown in the figure, 60% of them are below a score of 4 (five less than 4 and half of the two equal to 4) and 95% are ...

  4. Percentile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

    The 25th percentile is also known as the first quartile (Q 1), the 50th percentile as the median or second quartile (Q 2), and the 75th percentile as the third quartile (Q 3). For example, the 50th percentile (median) is the score below (or at or below , depending on the definition) which 50% of the scores in the distribution are found.

    The percentiles for the current General test and the concordance with the prior format [40] are as follows. According to interpretive data published by ETS, from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018 about 2 million people have taken the test.

  6. Normal curve equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_curve_equivalent

    In educational statistics, a normal curve equivalent (NCE), developed for the United States Department of Education by the RMC Research Corporation, [1] is a way of normalizing scores received on a test into a 0-100 scale similar to a percentile rank, but preserving the valuable equal-interval properties of a z-score.

  7. Standard score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score

    Comparison of the various grading methods in a normal distribution, including: standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, z-scores, T-scores. In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.

  8. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    Diagram showing the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution with mean (μ) 0 and variance (σ 2) 1. These numerical values "68%, 95%, 99.7%" come from the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution.

  9. Interquartile range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interquartile_range

    It is defined as the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data. [2] [3] [4] To calculate the IQR, the data set is divided into quartiles, or four rank-ordered even parts via linear interpolation. [1] These quartiles are denoted by Q 1 (also called the lower quartile), Q 2 (the median), and Q 3 (also called the upper quartile).
