hello aspirant..,

Since the percentile is calculated from a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees, the formula applies the total number of students in the January session  /100 multiplied by the percentage of people who are ahead of you to arrive at the rank.

JEE Main percentile score will be the normalised score for the exam and not the raw marks of the test taker.

The percentile score specifies the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to below (raw scores) a particular percentile in JEE Main. Thus, the topper of each session of JEE Main will get the same percentile i.e. 100.

Percentiles will also be calculated and converted for marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores

The percentile score will be used to prepare JEE Main merit list

The percentile scores for JEE Main will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to reduce tie-breaking scenarios and avoid bunching effect

The overall percentile is not the aggregate of the percentile of the individual subject

hope this information helps....

all the best for your bright future...
