JEE Main Percentile v/s NTA score
Candidates will come across three terms: Raw and NTA marks and Percentile.
The total for JEE Main is 300, and nine candidates got 250 raw marks from the total.
Now consider 100 candidates sat for JEE Main, where the raw score of all these students is 250. Out of all, nine of them got the same raw marks. The percentile and NTA score calculation would be
NTA score = Number of students who appeared for the test - Number of students with the same raw marks
= 100 - 9
= 91
