Hello aspirant,

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce the JEE Main 2021 result in the form of the NTA Score/Percentile. ... It is so, in 2020, candidates with 99 percentile got ranks around 8,470. On this rank, candidates are likely to get Chemical Engineering in the aforesaid institute.

99 percentile is an great score for general category students to get admission in some of the top NITs through JEE Mains.But as per previous year's analysis, one should score more than 178 marks to increase the chances of securing 99 percentile. To know more about the normalization process, read the JEE Main Marks Vs Percentile article.
