The higher percentile is considered to calculate rank. If you score the higher percentile in January attempt, that will be taken into account to calculate your rank. Now as the students appearing in September is less than January, they will obviously get a higher rank compared to the students appeared in January attempt. Rank is calculated using following formula:
Rank = (100 - percentile) * total number of students appeared / 100
Rank = (100 - percentile) * total number of students appeared / 100
