Step 2: Raw Marks to Percentile

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:

Is 240 a Good Score in JEE Mains 2026?

240 marks in JEE Mains corresponds to a 99.5 to 99.9 percentile. Therefore, 240 is considered an excellent score in JEE Main 2026. Candidates with these marks are expected to get a JEE Main rank between 5000 and 11000. In JEE Main, results are declared in percentiles, while admission is done based on rank. The All India Rank is calculated from the percentile and not from the raw marks. Therefore, the candidates must know the relation between marks, ranks and percentiles. Candidates with this score definitely qualify for JoSAA counselling and will also be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. With a score of 240, candidates can aim for top NITs, IIITs and Centrally Funded Technical Institutions. 

JEE Main marks Expected percentile Expected ranks
240 - 280+ 99.9+ 1 - 1,200
210 - 240 99.5 - 99.9 1,200 - 6,000

JEE Main 2026 Rank Predictor 

Candidates can calculate their All India Rank with the JEE Main Rank Predictor. Candidates must enter all the details asked in the predictor. The Rank predictors will predict the rank based on the previous year's trends and cutoff. Candidates can also use the JEE Main 2026 College Predictor to know the college in which they are likely to get admission based on rank. The candidates need to know the colleges to which they can apply based on ranks.

Yes, admissions are possible to the BTech course at DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai without the JEE Main rank through MHT CET. Securing good scores in the MHT CET is very important. Hence, the students must work hard and secure good marks for successful admission to the BTech course.

Yes, JEE Main is enough for Krupanidhi Institute of Technology admission. But it is not the only exam accepted for B.E. The institute also accepts CET and COMEDK score. Hence, even if JEE score is not available, students can still apply for admissions at the institute.

3) Don't skip state counselling — OBC quota there can be very beneficial
