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.
