Hello Pritam!
It will be a little difficult to predict you the exact marks equivalent to 90th percentile as it is your normalised score which depends on factors like no. of students appearing for the exam in that particular session. But, with 90th percentile, your expected rank will be somewhere around 87,488.

Hope this answer will help you.

You need 80-100 marks in JEE mains (depending upon the shifts) to get a 90 percentile.

But i would suggest you to to go for more than 90. Why to stop at 90 because if you consider the rank formula then your rank will be around 87k to 90k with 90 percentile and with this rank you can't get CSE in top Colleges.
