Got 98 Percentile in JEE Main 2024; which college and branch (CSE, ME, CE, EE, ECE) you may get? After scoring good marks on an exam like JEE Main, the most common question in every student’s mind is which college I will get based on my NTA score or JEE Main percentile.

Before telling students about the colleges and streams they may get based on their JEE Main score, students must not be confused about the NTA Score and JEE Main percentile. They must keep in mind that there is no difference between the NTA Score and JEE Main percentile. The JEE Main 2024 scorecard will contain the subject-wise and aggregated NTA score/percentile obtained by a candidate in the exam. These percentile scores are called the NTA Score.
