As per the National Testing Agency (NTA) guidelines, the JEE Main percentile scores are fetched directly from DigiLocker. However, some candidates faced technical problems because the name mentioned on their JEE Main scorecard did not exactly match the name available in DigiLocker. This mismatch prevented the system from automatically fetching their percentile scores.
