Hello Aspirant
Your JEE mains 2021 marks are your total score out of 300. The subjects include Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics where individual subject marks are 100. For each subject there will be a total of 30 questions (20 MCQs + 10 numerical value) out of which 25 needed to be answered. Each question will carry 4 marks.
The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore the topper(highest score) of each session will get 100 percentile
The Percentile of a Candidate iscalculated as :
100 X Number of candidates appeared in the 'Session' with a raw score equal to or less than the candidate/ Total number of the candidates appeared in the 'Session'.
Based on this percentile your all India rank in general category as well as your reserved category is calculated.
