JEE Main Percentile Predictor 2026

How is the JEE Main 2026 April 2 Shift 1 & 2 percentile calculated?

JEE Main results are prepared using percentile scores, not raw marks. The percentile reflects how a candidate has performed relative to others in the same shift.

Percentile Calculation Formula:

Percentile = (Number of candidates scoring equal to or less than you ÷ Total candidates in that shift) × 100

Percentiles are calculated separately for each shift and later normalised to prepare the final merit list.

For general students 60 marks is not good enough for admission in top NITs or IIITs. 60 marks will be around 80 percentile and will give rank between 1.5 and 2.5 lakhs.
