Hello,
It is totally your choice whether you want to appear in jee mains april session or not.If you are satisfied with your rank then your shouldn't and if not then you can appear.But its better to appear in both because the best out of two scores will be used for admission/counseling.
Although Its difficult to predict actual rank or JEE advanced qualify marks but you may calculate your expected rank by this formula 100 - your total percentile score is the percentage of people ahead of you. 869010 are the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100
You can use this formula to calculate rank.
I hope this helps.
