To achieve 99.9 percentile in JEE Mains, you typically need a score of around 250-270+ out of 300 (this may vary slightly based on exam difficulty and competition).


Estimated Number of Correct Questions Required:


Physics: 20-22 correct


Chemistry: 22-24 correct


Mathematics: 18-20 correct

(Assuming full marks per question and no negative marking)

This means you should aim to correctly answer at least 60-65 questions out of 75 while minimizing incorrect attempts to avoid negative marking.

To achieve a 99.9 percentile in JEE Mains, you'll need to score extremely well. While the exact number of correct answers required can vary depending on the exam's difficulty level, here are some general guidelines:


- Easy Exam: 212-219 correct answers

- Moderate Exam: 196-200 correct answers

- Difficult Exam: 151-158 correct answers


Keep in mind that JEE Mains has a total of 90 questions, with 30 questions from each of the three subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The exam pattern consists of two sections:


- Section A: 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for each subject

- Section B: 5 numerical value questions for each subject


To maximize your score, focus on:


- Consistent practice: Regularly solve practice papers and previous years' question papers

- Conceptual clarity: Understand the underlying concepts rather than just memorizing formulas

- Time management: Practice solving questions under timed conditions to improve your speed and accuracy


Remember, achieving a 99.9 percentile requires dedication, hard work, and strategic planning.
