Hello Piyush
Welcome To Careers360!
As you  have asked what percentile is.
It is basically No of student behind You.
For Example 100 students appeared in Exam and Your Percentile is 80 That means 80 students are behind You and 20 students have better rank than Yours.
I hope you understood The meaning Of Percentile.

Hello piyush

At first we have to know percentage and how it is calculated then we discuss about percentile .

Percentage is what we have been calculating our entire lives. It is absolute.

Percentage =your marks/total marks

For example:- if in an exam of 100marks,you scored 90,then your percentage would be 90%

However, percentile is a little different as it is relative.here the score of the other student in the exam is very important to how we calculate a person's percentile as it gives you the idea of how good/bad you did in an exam.

To calculate  percentile:-no of people behind you/total no. Of people*100

For example:- if in a class of 100 Students your score is better than 99 people and hence your percentile is 99%ile again if your rank had been 30th that means that your score better than 70 people and hence your percentile is 70%ile.

Thus,in percentile the no. Of people whose score is below you or the no. Of people your score is better than is your percentile.

Thanks

Hello Piyush,

JEE Mains percentile is calculated to compare marks among candidates. To be more specific, percentile is the number below which a certain percentage of scores or observations fail. For example, consider the candidat's marks is calculated as 80 percentile. This means 80 percentage of candidates scored below this candidate. In case of JEE Mains formula used for calculating percentile is: 100 times Number of candidates appeared in the "Session" with raw score equal to or less than the candidate divided by the total number of the candidates appeared in the "Session".
