Is the 1st percentile good?

Honestly: No — 1st percentile means you’re ahead of only 1% of test takers.
Or in simple words: 99% of candidates scored higher than you.

In exams like JEE or CUET:

• 1st percentile would place you near the bottom in rankings.
• Admissions to top colleges would not be possible at this percentile.

But — here’s hope:

• Percentile is not permanent.
• If this was your first attempt, treat it as feedback.
• Build stronger preparation plans:
  • Focus on NCERT, PYQs, mock tests.
  • Seek proper guidance and coaching.

Mindset shift:
Failure isn’t final — it's a signal to work smarter.
