To calculate the JEE Main marks we have the following formula

Total score obtaining = (total no of right answer's *4) - (total no of write answers*1)

And for calculating the JEE Main rank we have the is following  formula

((100-P/100)*N+1) .For example JEE Main 2020 rank = (100 - your total score) *874469/100

By using these formulas we can calculate both marks and rank.
