What will be the Expected Percentile for 180 Marks in JEE Main | |
NTA does not provide raw scores. Candidates will be able to check the normalized score, also called the NTA score.
NTA Score is the percentile of JEE Main. For instance, a 93 percentile means, 93% of the total test takers have marks less than or equal to those with that percentile.
The best NTA score out of both JEE Main attempts will be considered while preparing the final merit list.
A specific formula is used to convert the raw scores of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and total score into NTA scores.
JEE Main result is comparative in nature. A candidate's final result depends on the performance in the test as well as overall competition.
