hello aspirant..,

Percentile Score shows the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below a particular percentile in an exam. It is the normalized score and not the raw scores. After normalization, each topper of a session will get the same percentile of 100 which is the desirable one.

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 was useful to you...

all the best for your bright future..
