The process of calculating the JEE Main 2026 percentile is called the JEE Main normalisation process.
Below is the NTA's formula to calculate the JEE Main percentile:
Percentile Score of a Candidate = 100 x (Number of candidates who secured a raw score (or actual score) equal to or less than the candidate)/(Total number of candidates who appeared in that session)
Percentile score | Calculation | |
Total Percentile (T1P): | (100 x No. of candidates from the session with raw score equal to or less than T1 score) / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | |
Mathematics Percentile (M1P) | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score equal to or less than the M1 score in Mathematics) / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | |
Physics Percentile (P1P) | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score equal to or less than P1 score in Physics) / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | |
Chemistry Percentile (C1P): | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score equal to or less than C1 score in Chemistry) / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | |
