Dear aspirant ,

These kind of things depends on many factors as the toughness of the particular shift, the quality of students appearing in that particular shift and it is a bit difficult to predict these things . But as per my calculations a score of 90-95 out of 300 would fetch you 90 percentile.

Hello,

Percentile is the total percentage of candidates who have score equal or less marks than you. It depends on marks score in each subject in the JEE Main entrance exam, top score, number of candidates appeared etc. The marks vs percentile trend changes every year based on above mentioned factors.

Considering the previous year marks vs percentile trends you should aim to score minimum 70-80 marks in JEE Main. So you need to answer 18-20 questions correctly.

Hello Dear,

If we see the previous trend of a few years that to score 90 percentile, candidates need to have a score of at least 70 to 75 marks. However, this is just the probable range of marks because it varies for particular sessions. As the cut off depends upon the number of seats available, the difficulty level of paper and number of candidates writing the examination. And, hence varies every year depending on these factors.

Good Luck
