1. Your NTA score
2. Total number of students who have appeared for the exam
3. Percentage of students below or equal to your marks
4. Percentage of students above your marks
5. Number of students above your marks

Now, the formula to calculate JEE Main Rank from Percentile Score is:

((100 – P)/100)*N 1

The rank generated will be the probable All India Rank (AIR) you can expect to secure in JEE Main. The actual rank might differ owing to different factors.

The allotment of seats in NITs, IIITs and other GFTIs will be based on the All India Rank of candidates secured in JEE Main, whereas in IITs, the allotment will be through JEE Advanced rank.

Candidates can check their JEE Main ranks with their JEE Main session 2 scorecard. To check their ranks, candidates have to download the scorecard from their respective logins.

JEE Main ranks are released with the JEE Main session 2 result in April. The ranks are released on an All India basis and also category wise.

The schedule of JEE Main counselling is announced on the JoSAA website. The detailed round-wise schedule of counselling will be released after the JEE result is announced.

The JEE Main 2026 result will be released as a percentile. This is because not every shift is of the same difficulty level. Sometimes a shift is tougher, and other times it is comparatively easier. This varying level of difficulty is not any candidate’s fault, but it does significantly impact their performance. This is why NTA uses the normalisation process and releases the percentile scores to ensure that no student is at a disadvantage. For an easier shift, candidates have to score more marks to get a higher percentile. This is an inverse relation for a tougher shift, where the higher percentile may be obtained at much lower scores

As of now, the percentile scores are not available, since the result has yet to be declared. Moreover, NTA does not officially publish the JEE Mains marks vs percentile vs rank range. However, we can prepare an expected rank for the same based on the previous year’s data and what the students share every year.
