To achieve a 99.9 percentile in JEE Mains for SC (Scheduled Caste) category, the marks required may vary slightly each year depending on the difficulty level of the exam and the number of candidates appearing. However, based on previous years' trends:

  • Marks Range : For an SC candidate, scoring between 150–170 marks is typically sufficient to secure a 99.9 percentile .

This range can fluctuate based on:

  • The overall difficulty of the exam.
  • The number of candidates from the SC category appearing.

For more accurate data, check the official JEE Mains percentile-to-marks conversion after the exam or refer to the official NTA JEE Mains results .

Hello,

To achieve a **99.9 percentile** in JEE Mains as an SC candidate, the required marks vary slightly each year due to factors like the exam's difficulty and total candidates. However, generally, SC candidates need to score around **170-200 marks** out of 300 to reach this percentile. This estimation is based on previous trends. It's crucial to aim higher as competition and normalization factors can impact the percentile.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
