What does 72 percentile mean in jee mains

Hiii

72 percentile in JEE Mains would mean that around 72 % of students who appeared in same shift as yours have raw score lower than or equal to your raw score and rest 28% students have scored raw score more than your score.

Percentile is not same as percentage and both have different ways of being calculated.
Percentage is simply marks scores divided by total marks multiplied by 100 but percentile is calculated considering factors like the no. of students scoring lower marks than you and total students appearing in your shift.
So the formula for calculating percentile is-
100 * no. of candidates appeared in the 'session' with raw score equal to or less than the candidate / Total no. of candidates appeared in the session

Hii harsh....meaning of 72pecentile in jee is:  Out of all candidates those who have written the exam, you have scored better than 72%of the total candidates and rest 28%stundents have performed better than you. This percentile will be used to calculate rank of you.

For eg aprox 875000 students wrote jee main exam in january so your rank will be aproximately

(100-72)*875000/100 =245000
