Hello aspirant

The most commonly searched term by Engineering aspirants has been Jee main marks vs percentile. This is because of the fact that although NTA has specified the normalization process, it has not been shed any  light in the specific data that have been used to calculate the Jee main marks vs percentile. Since rank can be derived in the basis of the percentile, students are searching for percentile they will obtain for the marks they expect in jee main.

If you want to calculate all of india rank among 16 lakh candidates, you can calculate it with the following formula

(100- your percentile) × number of candidates appeared )÷ 100

(100-40) × 16,00,000 ÷ 100

= 960,000

In this way you can calculate rank with percentile.

In order to get admission in IIT and nit good score  an be around 90 percentile. At the same time , the candidate must feature among the top 15000 - 20,000 ranks range to get admission.
