What is JEE Main 2024 Percentile Score?

The JEE percentile score compares an applicant's performance to all other test takers and is not the same as a percentage score or raw marks. The JEE Main percentile score indicates the percentage of candidates who scored lower or equal to a particular score in the examination. Knowing how to access an estimated rank before the official announcement can be beneficial, but only if the applicant understands the normalization process and tiebreakers used to determine JEE Main marks and percentiles.

JEE Main 2024 Marks vs Percentile: A Comparative Study

In addition to understanding their percentile score, students should also be aware of their assigned rank about that score. To fully comprehend the relationship between JEE Main marks and percentiles, it is also important for students to understand how rank is assigned based on percentile.

Q:   Can I get NIT with 95 percentile in JEE Main?

A:

It is possible for you to secure a seat in an NIT (National Institute of Technology), although it may not guarantee your preferred branch or institute. If your percentile is above 96, your chances of getting into a respectable NIT increases, but you may need to compromise on your branch selection. However, if you aim for a decent NIT with a preferred branch in the core field, you would need to score above 97.5%. On the other hand, if your goal is to get admission to a top college with the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) branch, your score would need to be higher than 99.4%.

Q:   What is the cutoff for BTech in Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Hamirpur for other than General categories?

JEE Main Normalisation Formula

After compiling the raw marks, the NTA applies the normalization formula to get the percentile scores of a candidate for each subject – Maths, Physics, and Chemistry as well as the total. The highest score of each session will get the same percentile of 100 which is ideal. The percentile score has been used to prepare the JEE Main merit list. The percentile scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid ties among candidates with the same scores.

The JEE Main percentile score obtained by a candidate is determined only after applying normalization to the marks obtained by a candidate. JEE Main Percentile scores indicate the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below that particular percentile in the examination. A percentile score is measured on a scale of 100 to 0 for each session of examinees. The formula to calculate JEE Mains marks vs percentile is 

JEE-Main-2021-Marks-vs-percentile

 

JEE Main 2024 Normalisation Process: Tie Breaker Guidelines

The following rule comes into effect when two or more candidates obtain equal percentile scores. The inter-se merit will be determined according to the following rules in case of a tie.

Candidates obtaining a higher Percentile Score in Mathematics will be ranked higher

  • If a tie still exists, the candidate with a higher Percentile Score in Physics will be given a higher rank
  • If a tie still exists, the candidate obtaining a higher Percentile Score in Chemistry will get a higher rank
  • If a tie still exists, candidates older in age will be given a preference

The JEE Main result is released separately for each session. The best scores of the two sessions are considered for candidates who appeared in both sessions. The merit list is prepared on the final scores and ranks are announced based on the same.
