Hello Aspirant,

No there is no any computation error because there are many factors that led to some variation in the expected and actual percentile so not to worry for that but yes if you are seeking 99.2+ percentile then you can definitely try for upcoming attempt of JEE-Main 2021.

Since you have not mentioned your category so considering it as General.

According to the percentile you have mentioned your CRL rank is expected to be in the range of 33000 - 37000 , you can check out marks Vs CRL ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-
