Determining Factors of JEE Main 28 Jan Marks vs Percentile

  • Difficulty level of the shifts
  • Total number of candidates appearing in the shift
  • Performance of all other candidates in the test
  • NTA Normalisation process

How is the JEE Main 2026 January 28 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.

JEE Main Rank Predictor 2026

Using the JEE Main 2026 answer key, candidates can calculate their estimated score and predict their rank using online rank predictors. This helps students plan their counselling strategy and shortlist colleges based on expected ranks.

What is the expected JEE Main 2026 cutoff?
