👉JEE Main 2026 Marks vs Percentile

As per the official data shared by NTA, the marks required for the same percentile changes significantly depending on the difficulty level of each shift. This is due to the normalisation process used by the authorities. The JEE Mains percentile is based on the relative performance of all students in that shift rather than absolute marks. Further, the final ranks are also based on the percentile and not the actual marks. This is why some students with higher marks still get lower ranks compared to others in different shifts.

How is Percentile Calculated in JEE Mains?

The JEE Main percentile score obtained by a candidate is determined only after applying normalisation to the marks obtained by a candidate. JEE Main Percentile scores indicate the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below that particular percentile in the examination. A percentile score is measured on a scale of 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
