NTA percentile formula
Percentile Score = (100 × No. of candidates in the session with raw score ≤ candidate) / total candidates in that session. Each shift is normalised independently to neutralise difficulty differences across slots.
FAQs
How is the JEE Main percentile calculated?
NTA uses normalisation: Percentile Score = (100 × number of candidates in the session with raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / total candidates in that session. Each shift is normalised separately.
Is this percentile guaranteed?
No — this is an estimate based on past-session marks-vs-percentile trends published by NTA. The actual percentile depends on the difficulty of your specific session and the candidate distribution that day. Always rely on the official NTA scorecard.
What percentile do I need for JEE Advanced?
JEE Advanced typically calls the top ~2,50,000 JEE Main candidates. In recent sessions, this corresponded to ~90+ percentile for General category (lower for reserved categories). NTA announces the exact cut-off each year.
