250 marks in JEE Main 2026 Percentile: Scoring 250 marks in JEE Mains means you are most likely to get 99 percentile. Based on previous year trends, we have provided here an estimation of the percentile score for the raw score of 250 out of 300 marks in JEE Main.

It should always be kept in mind that the percentile score is subject to change every year, as it depends on various factors. These factors change every year, like the difficulty level of the shift, the highest score in the shift, and the number of candidates in the shift. Since all these factors can not be predicted, the exact way to estimate the percentile for 250 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.

Important Note about JEE Main percentile score of the NTA score:

  • JEE Main percentile score is the normalised score for the exam and not the raw marks of the test taker.
  • The percentile score specifies the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to below (raw scores) a particular percentile in JEE Main. Thus, the topper of each session of JEE Main will get the same percentile, ie 100.
  • The percentile score will be used to prepare the JEE Main merit list
  • The percentile scores for JEE Main 2026 will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to reduce tie-breaking scenarios and avoid the bunching effect
  • The overall percentile is not the aggregate of the percentile of the individual subject
