Hello Candidate,

Here are the factors and steps by which the JEE percentile is calculated for each student-

1. The percentile in rough, can be expressed as the average marking of students out of hundred such that the best student who has got the maximum marks in the examination is awarded hundred percentile in that particular shift.

2. Secondly the marks of individual subjects are taken in a preferential order of mathematics first, followed by physics, and at last chemistry in order to rank the percentile of those students which have scored the same marks.

3. If the individual marks of subjects such as physics chemistry and mathematics, are also same for any two students then the age factor is taken into consideration which means that the child having hire is given slightly more percentile than his counterpart. The percentile is expressed up to 7 decimal places for getting precise ranking.

Hope you found it helpful. If you have any further queries feel free to post it here!!

Hii

JEE Mains ranks are calculated based upon your percentile. Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination. Basically the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of exam.

The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore the topper(highest score) of each session is given as 100 percentile.

Formula to calculate Percentile is given by:

100 X Number of candidates appeared in the Session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate divided by
Total number of the candidates appeared in the Session

Percentile in JEE Mains is be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid confusions.
