150 marks in JEE Main 2026 Percentile: What would your JEE Main 2026 percentile be if you score 150 marks out of 300? Let us analyse below how NTA calculates your percentile score from the raw score here. Based on previous year trends, we have provided here an estimation of the percentile score for the raw score of 150 out of 300 marks in JEE Main. It should always be kept in mind that the percentile score is dependent on various variables, like the difficulty level of the shift, the highest score in the shift, and the number of candidates in the shift. Since these variables are difficult to estimate beforehand, the exact percentile marks estimation for 150 marks in JEE Main 2026 is difficult until the JEE Main result 2026 is out. Therefore, the analysis is done here based on the previous few years' data. Check below how much percentile is 150 marks in JEE Mains 2026.

JEE Main Percentile Calculator 2026 - NTA Score Calculation

There is a set formula that NTA uses to calculate the JEE Main percentile. The raw scores of the candidates out of 300 in the exam are converted to a percentile score using this standard formula. The detailed formula is provided via the information brochure of JEE Main 2026. Candidates can check out the formula to know how to calculate the JEE Main percentile. We have also mentioned the steps below:

The process to calculate JEE Main percentile from your raw score out of 300 is as follows:

Step 1: Candidates are distributed in shifts:

The candidates are distributed equally in two shifts on each day of the exam:

  • Day-1 Shift -1
  • Day-1 Shift -2

Step 2: Result for each shift

The JEE Main result for each shift is prepared taking into consideration the following scores into consideration:

  • Raw Score
  • Percentile scores of total raw scores

For each shift, the percentile score is calculated using the formula below:

In this formula, let TP1 be your percentile score of the total raw score. Then, your percentile in your shift will be:

Step 3: Compilation of NTA score and preparation of result:

The Percentile scores for the total raw score for all the shifts (Day-1 Shift -1 and Day-1 Shift -2) as calculated in Step 2 above, are merged and are called the NTA scores, which will then be used for the compilation of results.
