Hi

It is quite difficult to make prediction as marks vs percentile vs rank keeps turning every year depending upon a number of factors like

*Number of students that appeared in the exam

*difficulty level of the JEE main examination for different shifts

*Kind of marks obtained by the students in the exam etc

But yes,

To get 97 percentile you should try to get at least around 135 to 140 marks .

For example,

As per our predictor with 135 marks, Overall Percentile considering  that the question paper is of moderate level  is :- 96.53 - 97.93

Dear student,

If you score 97 percentile in jee mains in March session then according to the previous years trends your marks would be around 110-120 and the corresponding rank for this percentile would be around  20,000- 25,000. However these estimations may change from year to year and depends on various factors like difficulty of examination,  number of students attempting the examination,  etc.
