Hello,

Your rank depends on various factors such as total number of candidates appeared, percentile score, tie breakers, highest score in the exam, normalized marks etc. You category rank depends on total number of candidates who appeared in the exam and the above mentioned factors. So it is quite difficult to indicate the exact marks that you need to score to secure a rank 8000 or below. The safe score is 180-200 marks and your percentile score should be 97-99 percentile. As this is the estimated score the rank that you obtain after results vary depending on the above mentioned factors.
