Candidates who appeared for the JEE Main exam must know how to calculate the percentile. Before that, however, they should understand what a percentile is. A percentile is a comparative number. It measures the position of the candidates with respect to others. For instance, one with 95th percentile will mean that 95% of the candidates have secured marks lower than the candidate. This implies that a percentile gives more significance to the position of a student with respect to fellow students rather than their individual raw marks.
Moreover, a percentile in JEE Mains 2026 is provided shift-wise and overall. That is, there can be candidates with the same percentile across multiple sessions but their raw marks won’t be the same, and neither will their rank (JEE Main 2026 tie-breaking criteria)
