JEE Main scores are declared in the form of marks scored in the exam. While the final results provide both marks and percentile, students would generally prefer to determine their ranking on the basis of how many marks they scored. Let’s look at how you can determine your percentile from your marks:

The formula to calculate percentile score for JEE Main is:

Percentile Score of a Candidate = 100 x (Number of candidates who secured a raw score (or actual score) EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate) / (Total number of candidates who appeared in that session)

Let’s take an example to understand this:

The number of candidates that appeared in a particular session are 50,000, and the highest scored marks for the session are 275 (out of total 300 marks). Also, the number of candidates who scored the highest is 1 (there can be more than one), and the number of candidates that scored less than the highest (274) are 50,000. Accordingly, if a candidate has scored 120, and the number of candidates who have scored less than 120 are 37244,

Percentile Score secured by the topper, Candidate A = (100 x 50,000)/50,000 = 100

However, the Percentile scored by Candidate B = (100 x 37244)/50,000 = 74.488

Accordingly, by determining the percentile, students can calculate their rank and roughly determine if they are due for JEE Advanced or enter their desired colleges. Eventually at the result date, NTA releases the list of toppers and JEE Main cutoff scores.

It is also ideal to thoroughly understand Normalization and Calculation of JEE Main Percentile to examine how NTA calculates the score and similarly approach the calculation of rank by looking at the trend analysis for the last 5 years.
