However, the exact JEE Main 2025 percentile marks 120 would vary depending upon the highest number scored by the candidate in a particula shift and the total number candidates appeared in that particular shift. More details about JEE Main marks vs percentile vs rank can be checked to understand in details.

Q:   Is the NTA percentile score and percentage same?

A:
Percentage and percentile are not the same. A percentage is a number out of 100 whereas the percentile score is based on the relative performance of all the aspirants appearing in the exam. The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored equal to or below that particular Percentile in that examination.
