How to calculate JEE Main 2024 rank from Percentile score?

Edited By Prabha Dhavala | Updated on Apr 26, 2024 11:02 AM IST | #JEE Main

How to calculate JEE Main 2024 rank based on Percentile score? - Many candidates wish to know how to calculate their JEE Main 2024 rank based on the percentile score. This helps them predict their rank before the release of the JEE 2024 result. As we know, NTA has released the JEE Main score in the form of percentile. JEE Main rank is based on the percentile score of both sessions of NTA JEE Mains. So, why would students ask about JEE Main 2024 rank based on the NTA percentile score? Well, the reasons are many and varied like not appearing for JEE Main April exam or judging whether a better score would fetch a seat. Check out how to calculate the JEE Main 2024 rank using the percentile score below in this article.

NTA has announced that normalisation will be session-wise so the percentile score you got would be relative to the others in your session. This score denotes the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. So the 9 toppers are students who have got 100 NTA Scores and have got the highest scores which is 100 percentile after normalisation in their respective sessions. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores have also been converted to appropriate Percentiles.

Note: It may be noted that the formula given for the calculation of percentile in JEE Main is indicative and should not be taken as accurate as the actual ranks will vary on account of many factors.

How to calculate JEE Main 2024 rank from Percentile score?

JEE Main 2024 session 2 exam was held from April 4 to 12. Below is the process of calculating rank from percentile with last year's example.

Let’s take this for the January session of JEE Main first. As per the previous year NTA statistics, 823967 students appeared for JEE Main in the January session. NTA announced that 20 students have scored 100 percentile in these sessions and has declared them as JEE Main Toppers.

To calculate the JEE Main 2023 rank, you first need to know the percentage of people ahead of you with higher percentile scores. To calculate that, the formula would be 100 which is the highest score minus your percentile score.

Since the percentile is calculated from a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees, the formula applies the total number of students in the January session which is 8,22,000 /100 multiplied by the percentage of people who are ahead of you to arrive at the rank.

Therefore, the formula to calculate the JEE Main 2023 rank through percentile for January is

JEE Main 2023 rank (probable) = (100- NTA percentile score ) X 823967 /100

If the NTA percentile score is 90.70, JEE Main rank will be (100-90.70 ) X 823967/100 = 76628

Consider the NTA score of 80.60 then JEE Main 2023 rank = (100-80.60) X 823967 /100. The rank will be 159849

** This formula would not be for a 100 percentile score as those are the top ranks.

Use the JEE Main 2024 Rank Predictor to check rank.

How to decide whether to go for JEE Main 2024 April?

You could take a probable calculation of percentile in JEE Main and see where you stand. The total number of candidates that appeared for the JEE Main 2024 April session are 10,67,959. Using this as a basis, use the NTA score and see which JEE Main rank you will get.

Why the January NTA score? The reason is that the better of the two scores will be used. So if you perform badly in April, the January NTA score still holds good and if you perform better, then the rank will only be better.

So what will be the April JEE Main 2023 rank from the NTA Percentile Score of January?

Using the same formula,

If the NTA percentile score is 90.70, JEE Main rank will be (100-90.70) X 10,67,959/100 = 99320

In this case, you have a good chance of qualifying for JEE Advanced (as 2,24,000 students qualify for it) and can check the JEE Main cutoff from previous years to understand which institute you can apply for admissions.

Consider the NTA score of 80.60 then JEE Main 2024 rank = (100-80.60) X 10,67,959 /100. The rank will be 207184 which means may not have a chance of qualifying for JEE Advanced.

What is the minimum NTA percentile that may stand a chance to qualify for JEE Advanced?

The NTA percentile score of 89.7548849 will stand a chance at JEE Advanced if one takes a look at the JEE Main cutoff from last year.

It is a fact that IITs are dream institutions for most engineering aspirants. So a student who has done exceptionally well in January may wish to skip the JEE Main 2023 April session to concentrate on JEE Advanced preparation. Another student may have scored well enough and feels that another session is too strenuous so may wish to skip it if only he/she has a fair chance of a seat in one good NIT or IIIT. Others may wish to know if they have the chance for any admissions based on their January JEE Main percentile scores or if should they appear for the April exam to better this.

We hope that the decision to write or skip can be made a bit easier using the calculation methods mentioned in this article.

Hello aspirant,

Based on past year's trends, I think you need to be at least in the 93 percentile to get into ECE, ME, or EE, or maybe Mining or Metallurgical, to get admission in BIT Sindri. You roughly need ranking under 80,000 in JEE Mains for admission in this college.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.
