JEE Mains paper 2

Hi,
Once the data of candidates along with scores is made public it would be easier to calculate your percentile. Percentile scores, basically, tells you how you have performed relative to all other candidates who appeared for the exam. It is not the same as your percentage score. While the percentage score tells you the percentage of the total marks or maximum marks for the exam that you have secured, the percentile score indicates what percentage of the total number of candidates appearing for the exam have scored equal to or less than the score you secured. This means, in each session, the marks secured by the candidate (say, out of 360 in the case of JEE Main Paper 1) is converted into a scale ranging from 100 to 0. The topper for each session will, thus, secure a percentile score of 100.
