At LPU, the JEE Main cutoff is basically the benchmark score that helps us select students for engineering programs. Think of it as the gatekeeper; it tells you the minimum marks you need in JEE Main to be eligible for admission. The cutoff can vary each year depending on factors like the number of
We have analysed here what JEE Main 2026 percentile score candidates can expect if they score 90 marks in the JEE Main exam. The analysis shows that, core branches of engineering will be available for this marks, but which NITs will be available? Let's explore below.
90 Marks in JEE Mains 2026 Percentile: Is 90 marks in JEE Mains 2026 a good score? Will you get any NIT for 90 out of 300 marks in JEE Mains? If you are worried about scoring less than 100 marks in JEE Mains 2026, then we have some news for you. Candidates who score 90 marks out of 300 in JEE Mains 2026 have various options of getting a seat in courses like Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering and many more. However, top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Karnataka, NIT Rourkela, NIT Warangal, and NIT Calicut will not be available for 90 marks in JEE Mains.
On this page, we have analysed how much percentile you will get if you score 90 marks in the JEE Main exam. Candidates should keep in mind that this is an estimation and not an accurate analysis. Analysing the exact JEE Main percentile for 90 marks is not possible, as the percentile marks depend on various factors like the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the highest score in the exam, the level of the exam difficulty and the number of shifts. Shiksha experts have analysed the JEE Main 2026 marks vs percentile data from various reliable sources and from the past few years to estimate what 90 marks will be in JEE Mains percentile 2026.

What is 90 Marks in JEE Mains 2026 Percentile?
We have provided the analysis of 90 marks in JEE Mains percentile below:
| JEE Main Score 2026 | JEE Main 2026 Percentile - Expected |
|---|---|
| 101 - 110 | 96.204550 - 96.978272 |
| 91 - 100 | 94.998594 - 96.064850 |
| 81 - 90 | 93.471231 - 94.749479 |
From the above analysis, we can say that:
- 90 marks in JEE Mains 2026 can be around 93 to 94 percentile.
Keep in mind that the percentile can significantly vary based on the number of candidates appearing for the exam this year. Hence, do not take the above analysis as a final analysis.

Commonly asked questions
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will declare the JEE Mains result 2026 in the form of percentile scores. Candidates can check here the previous year JEE Main marks vs percentile data to understand how much is 120 marks in JEE Main percentile.
As per the last year JEE Main marks vs percentile analysis, 120 marks would be around 95 to 97 percentile. However, the exact JEE Main 2025 percentile marks 120 would vary depending upon the highest number scored by the candidate in a particula shift and the total number candidates appeared in that particular shift.
How to calculate JEE Main 2026 Percentile from Marks out of 300?
To calculate JEE Main percentile 2026 from your marks out of 300, you would need the following details:
- Your score in the exam out of 300
- Number of candidates who have scored less than or equal to you in your shift
- Total number of candidates who have appeared in your shift
Only the first data is readily available. However, the rest of the two data sets are hardly available. Therefore, the calculation of the exact percentile score becomes very difficult.
NTA uses the following formula to calculate the NTA score (percentile score) from the raw marks of the candidates:
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:
The final percentile score of JEE Mains and the ranks are based on the best performance of the candidates out of both attempts of the exam.

Is 90 Marks a Good Score in JEE Main 2026?
90 marks in the JEE Main exam 2026 will not get you a top NIT. However, core engineering branches like Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering will be available in this marks range. 90 marks in JEE Mains roughly translates to 93 to 94 percentile, and this corresponds to a JEE Main rank range of 60100 - 46500. Check the list of NITs and courses that one can expect if they score 90 marks out of 300 in JEE Mains 2026:

Yes, students may get a seat in NIT Puducherry BTech with 92 percentile in JEE Main through JoSAA counselling. The cutoff is high for specialisations, such as CSE. With NITPY being one of the top institutes and part of the NIT Tag, the cutoff is always high. But 92 percentile can be enough for later
