Calculation of JEE Main 2026 percentile from raw score is not entirely possible as the percentile score depends on variables like how many candidates appear for the exam, the highest marks in the exam, and the difficulty level of the shifts.

However, from the previous many years' analysis of JEE Main marks vs ranks data, we can come to an estimation of what the JEE Main percentile will be for 200 marks. We will also explore below what NITs you can get with 200 marks out of 300 in the NTA JEE Mains exam.

How to Calculate NTA JEE Main Percentile - Formula and Steps

NTA uses a set formula to calculate the percentile of the candidates in the JEE Mains exam. The steps used to calculate the JEE Main percentile from raw scores of the candidates are given below:

Step 1: Calculation of the raw score

The raw scores of the candidates are calculated using the marking scheme of the JEE Main 2026 exam:

  • +4 for each correct answer.
  • -1 for each wrong attempt.
  • 0 from no attempt.

Step 2: Conversion of raw score into percentile score

The raw scores of the candidates are converted into a percentile score or NTA score in each subject. The total marks out of 300 are also converted to a percentile score using the formulas below:

JEE Main 2020 Percentile Calculation

NTA announced the final percentile after the JEE Main 2026 results for the session 2 exam. After comparing the marks of the candidates from session and session 2, the final marks are decided. The final score is the score which is the highest of both sessions of the exam. Ranking is done based on the final percentile score.

As per the last year JEE Main marks vs percentile analysis, 120 marks would be around 95 to 97 percentile.

Q:   What are the types of JEE Main cutoff?

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.

JEE Main admission cutoff is released by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority JoSAA and is in the form of All India Rank.

What will 200 Marks be in JEE Main 2026 Percentile?

191 - 200 99.710831 - 99.782472

If a question is dropped in the JEE Main exam, then the candidates of the shift from which the question is dropped will get bonus marks. It does not matter if you attempted the question or not. If a question from your shift is dropped then you will be eligible for +4 bonus marks.

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.

You should arrive early to complete this frisking process. Make sure to keep your face visible for identification.

The SUPR section is comparable to JEE Main, but REAP section is considered challenging as it requires creative thinking and "out-of-box" problem solving. It can be compared to the Olympiad level questions.
