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.

NTA score = Number of students who appeared for the test - Number of students with the same raw marks
= 100 - 9
= 91
