- First, the raw scores of the candidates are calculated for all three subjects - Maths, Physics and Chemistry individually. The total raw marks out of 300 are also calculated.
- To calculate the raw score, NTA uses the marking scheme of the exam, which is +4 for each correct answer and -1 for each wrong attempt.
Raw score converted to percentile score
- Once the raw scores are calculated, NTA converts the raw scores of all three subjects and the total raw score into a percentile using the formula below:

The final percentile is the best score of the candidates out of both the January and April exam attempts. However, keep in mind that NTA will not release the raw scores with the JEE Main result 2026, only the percentile marks in all three subjects and in aggregate will be available.
