Hello there,

With a 98.7 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2 and belonging to the SC category , you can estimate your category rank as follows:

  1. Percentile Interpretation : A 98.7 percentile means you scored higher than 98.7% of all candidates.

  2. Total Candidates : Assuming approximately 100,000 candidates appeared for JEE Main Paper 2.

  3. Calculating General Rank :

    • 1.3% of candidates scored higher than you (100% - 98.7% = 1.3%).
    • 1.3% of 100,000 candidates = 1,300 candidates.
    • Thus, your approximate All India Rank (AIR) is 1,301 .

  4. Estimating SC Category Rank :

    • Assuming 15% of total candidates are from the SC category, that's 15,000 candidates.
    • 1.3% of 15,000 SC candidates = 195 candidates.
    • Therefore, your estimated SC category rank is around 196 .

Please note that these are approximate calculations. Actual ranks can vary based on the total number of candidates, the distribution of scores, and the specific percentile calculation for each session.


I would recommend you to use JEE Mains Rank Predictor Tool by Careers360 to predict your Rank.
