22 Jul '26 - 18 Aug '26
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 the core branches of engineering will be available for these marks, but which NITs will be available? Let's explore below.
90 Marks in JEE Main 2026 Percentile
90 Marks in JEE Mains 2026 Percentile: Scoring 90 marks in JEE Mains 2026 may provide some options for seats in courses like Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, and Computer Science Engineering. However, top NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Karnataka, NIT Rourkela, NIT Warangal, and NIT Calicut will not be accessible with this score in JEE Mains.
This page analyses the estimated percentile for scoring 90 marks in the JEE Main exam. It's important to note that this is an estimation, as actual percentiles depend on factors like the number of candidates, highest scores, exam difficulty, and shifts. Shiksha experts have examined JEE Main 2026 marks vs percentile data from reliable sources to estimate the percentile for 90 marks.

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.

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.

Commonly asked questions
This year, a total of 18,951 seats are available across all 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
As per the analysis of JEE Main marks vs percentile, 120 marks would be around 95 to 97 percentile.
The cutoff for IIITs vary for various branches and also category of students. Specialised branches like computer Science and electronics engineering has higher cutoff in comparison to other branches. Similarly, JEE Main cutoff for general category candidates is higher in comparison to OBC-NCL and SC/ST candidates.
| Year | General (UR) Percentile |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 93.4123549 |
| 2025 | 93.1023262 |
| 2024 | 93.2362181 |
| 2023 | 90.7788642 |

| 2020 | 90.3765335 |
| 2019 | 89.7548849 |
Is 90 Marks a Good Score in JEE Main 2026?
Achieving 90 marks in the JEE Main 2026 is unlikely to secure admission to a top NIT, but core engineering disciplines like Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, and Computer Science Engineering may still be accessible. A score of 90 typically corresponds to a percentile of about 93 to 94, equating to a rank between 60,100 and 46,500. Here’s a list of NITs and programs potentially available for those scoring 90 out of 300.

Yes, but only in private colleges through management quota, based on Class 12 marks, without needing WBJEE. Colleges like IEM, Heritage, Techno India, and Adamas offer this option.
Always check that the college is AICTE-approved before taking direct admission, as unapproved seats can create problems

The rank needed for admission to the BTech course would depend on the course, round and branch you are applying for. For the General HS category, the Round 2 cutoff was 770798 for the BTech CSE course. So, this category students need a rank of at least 770798 to be considered eligible for admission.

Yes, several colleges convert a good JEE Main percentile directly into a fee waiver. Graphic Era's GECET-linked scholarships and UPES's merit scholarships can cut your fees by up to 50%. This makes originally expensive private colleges much more affordable for high scorers, so it's worth applying ev

Yes, most Coimbatore colleges, including PSG Tech, Karunya, and Kumaraguru, primarily admit students through TNEA counselling, which is based on Class 12 merit rather than JEE Main. JEE Main is mainly relevant if you're targeting government institutes like NITs. So a strong Class 12 score alone can

No, I don't think you can get into B.Tech EEE at Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad with JEE Main rank of 5,30,000 as General, non-UP domicile candidate. Typically, closing rank for EEE close much earlier around 3,00,00.
