Candidates will come across three terms – Raw marks, NTA marks, and Percentile. 
Let us say the maximum mark for the examination is 300 and nine candidates have obtained 250 out of 300. Here, 250 marks are the raw marks.

Q:   Is 75 percent marks in class 12 required for JEE Mains?

A:

Candidates need not have 75 percent marks in class 12 for appearing in JEE Main. As per the official brochure released by the NTA there is no minimum percentage required for appearing in the JEE Main. The requirement of 75 percent marks need not be associated with JEE Main. It is to be understood that 75 percent marks is required for admission to institutes which include NITs, IIITs, GFTIs and IITs. There are many institutes which offer admission on 60% and even less along with JEE Main. Candidates must clearly understand that the requirement of 75 percent marks in class 12 is only for taking admission in the institutes.

Q:   What is CRL in JEE Main Cutoff?

A:
CRL stands for the Common Rank List. NTA releases the cutoff in several categories one of which is CRL. Basically, CRL means unreserved category. Candidates belonging to unreserved category need to have JEE Main cutoff equal to or more than the CRL cutoff. The other categories for which cutoff is released are Gen-EWS, Open-PwD, OBC-NCL, SC and ST.

Q:   What is the expected NIT Calicut JEE Main cutoff 2024?

A:

Going as per the past three year trends candidates can expect the closing ranks for NIT Calicut JEE Main cutoff 2024 Round 1 Seat Allotment for top specialisations between the following range: 

Now, suppose a total of hundred candidates appeared in the JEE Main. Then the percentile and NTA score will be calculated by –

The raw score obtained by candidates = 250
The number of candidates who obtained the same raw score = 9
Total number of candidates taking the exam = 100
Then the NTA score or JEE Main percentile will be = 100 – 9 is 91.
