Your NTA score of 72 corresponds to your normalized score, not your raw marks. To estimate your NEET marks, you need the official normalization formula, but a rough estimate suggests it could be around 180-220 marks. Your percentile depends on overall exam difficulty and competition. For a general category student, a 72 NTA score likely places you in the 35-45 percentile range. This makes government MBBS seats unlikely, but private colleges and paramedical courses could still be options.

With a 72 percentile in JEE Main, your estimated marks would likely be around 55-65 out of 300. Your rank might fall between 2,50,000 – 3,00,000, depending on the total number of candidates.


Since you’re from the General category, getting into top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs might be tough. However, you still have good chances in state government colleges and private universities.

Hello Sushant,

For a NTA score of 72 in JEE Main, here's an estimate:

  • Marks : The NTA score is usually scaled between 100 to 0 based on difficulty level. For 72, your marks would typically be in the range of 80-100 (but this can vary based on the exam session).

  • Percentile : The percentile depends on the overall performance of other candidates. If you're in the general category , a score of 72 may yield an estimated percentile of 85-90 .

The final percentile and marks can only be confirmed after the official results are released.


I would recommend you to use JEE Mains Rank Predictor Tool by Careers360 to predict your Rank.
