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.

As per the last year JEE Main marks vs percentile analysis, 120 marks would be around 95 to 97 percentile. However, the exact JEE Main 2025 percentile marks 120 would vary depending upon the highest number scored by the candidate in a particula shift and the total number candidates appeared in that particular shift. 

Q:   What are the types of JEE Main cutoff?
A: 
JEE Main cutoff is of two types, one is qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced and the other is admission cutoff for the institutes. JEE Main qualifying cutoff is released by the NTA along with the result and is in the form of percentile scores. NTA releases JEE Main cutoff for a total of six categories which include unreserved (CRL), Gen-EWS, Open-PwD, OBC-NCL, SC and ST. JEE Main admission cutoff is released by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority JoSAA and is in the form of All India Rank.

What will 150 Marks be in JEE Main Percentile?

Check JEE Main percentile for 150 marks, based on past year trends below:

JEE Main Score JEE Main Percentile
161 - 170 99.272084 - 99.431214
151 - 160 99.028614 - 99.239737
141 - 150 98.732389 - 98.990296
131 - 140 98.317414 - 98.666935

But, candidates should keep in mind that the above estimation of 150 marks in JEE Mains 2026 percentile is per the past few years' analysis of the JEE Main marks vs rank data. Since the percentile score calculation depends on varied factors like the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the shifts, the top score, etc., the exact estimation is difficult to reach.

Yes, you can wear a hijab in the JEE Mains exam as it is considered a religious item. However, you will likely undergo enhanced security checks at the exam centre.

OJEE and JEE syllabus is somewhat same and different in some places. The OJEE syllabus for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is different from JEE. In JEE, the physics syllabus includes topics such as Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Optics, etc. These topics require knowledge of physics topics.
