Vikas, you can calculate your expected JEE Mains paper 2 rank for the January session using the following formula:

(100-your total percentile) x 112679/100

So with 97.69 percentile, your rank would be around 2602.

Also, if the number of students increases to 1.5 lakh in the April session, the formula for rank calculation would change to:

(100-your total percentile) x 150000/100

Hence your expected rank in this case would be around 3465

• NIT Bhopal
