Required percentile to get 20000 rank in jee mains
To get a 20,000 rank in JEE Main, here’s the approximate percentile you need based on past trends:
Target Percentile:
General Category: Around 97.5 to 98.0 percentile
OBC/EWS: You may get this rank at a slightly lower percentile (around 95.5–96.5) due to reservation.
SC/ST: Rank varies significantly, but 90–93 percentile might be enough for 20,000 category rank (not common rank).
hi,
If you're aiming for around 20,000 rank in JEE Mains, then you should be targeting a percentile of approximately 97.5 to 98.2. This is based on recent year trends, but it can vary a little depending on how tough the paper is and how many students appear that year.
For general category students, anything above 98 percentile usually lands you near that 20,000 mark. But if you belong to a reserved category like OBC, SC, ST, or EWS, you might reach that rank with a slightly lower percentile.
So, to stay safe, try to aim for 98+ percentile. That will give you a good shot at being in the 20k rank range.
