Candidates can calculate the JEE Main percentile for the practice papers and the JEE main exam they have given. This will help them analyse their performance in the JEE Main 2025 exam. Candidates can then decide if they want to attempt the JEE Main April session to improve their performance

What is the JEE Main Percentile?

NTA JEE Main Percentile refers to the percentage of candidates that scored equal to or below a certain score in the JEE Main 2025 exam. Calculating the JEE Main 2025 percentile is called the JEE Main normalisation process. To calculate the JEE Main percentile, the authority converts the raw scores of the candidates into a percentage score(out of 100). This ensures that all candidates attempting the JEE Main exam have an equal score despite the varied difficulties of the multi-session papers.

How to Calculate the JEE Main percentile?

The process of calculating the JEE Main 2025 percentile is mentioned below

  • Percentile Score of a Candidate = 100 x (Number of candidates who secured a raw score (or actual score) equal or less than the candidate)/(Total number of candidates who appeared in that session)
Amrita University B.Tech 2026

Recognized as Institute of Eminence by Govt. of India | NAAC ‘A++’ Grade | Upto 75% Scholarships

UPES B.Tech Admissions 2026

Ranked #43 among Engineering colleges in India by NIRF | Highest Package 1.3 CR , 100% Placements

The calculation for the Raw scores, the subject-wise and the total NTA score in the JEE Main result are given below.

Raw Scores: Marks obtained in each session and subject (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) of the JEE Main exam calculated for all correct and incorrect answers, totalled up to obtain a total raw JEE Main 2025 score.

JEE Main Percentile Scores for each subject and total percentile score

Percentile scoreCalculation

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 than 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

This is the link to download certificate format.

As you can see that the pdf in the website is only a format. Which means you have to take the hard copy of the certificate written in this format only. For example, in the given GEN-EWS certificate format the financial year given is 2024-25 but you are appearing for JEE Main 2026 so you need to edit the certificate and write that the gross annual income of his/her family” is below

Rs. 8 lakh (Rupees Eight Lakh only) for the financial year 2025-2026

Hello,

If you’re appearing for Class 12 (HSC) in 2026 and don’t have your board admit card or roll number yet, you can leave the “Registration No./Enrollment No./Roll No.” field blank or enter “NA” (Not Applicable) if the form allows.

Do not enter your school GR number, as it’s not recognized by the exam board or NTA.
Once your board issues the admit card or registration number, it can be updated later during JEE Main form correction or at the time of result verification.

So, for now, safely enter “NA” or leave blank — not your GR number.

Hope you understand.

Hello,

For JEE Main EWS certificate, your parent's income certificate is required, not yours.

The EWS category is based on the family’s annual income, which must be below 8 lakhs from all sources.
The certificate should be issued by a competent government authority and must be valid for the current financial year.


Hope you understand.


Hello,

To secure admission to the University of Hyderabad for the Integrated BTech + MTech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) course with an EWS certificate and home state quota, you would likely need a JEE Main percentile of approximately 95-97 percentile or higher. Also, you can check the JEE Main Cutoff , to know more details.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

You should enter your mother’s name as per your Aadhaar card , which is Shaik Nazima Begum .

The JEE application is verified mainly with your Aadhaar details, so it’s better to keep it the same to avoid mismatch.

There will be no big problem if there is a small difference like “Begum” added, but it’s good to keep all documents matching in the future. You can update your school records or Aadhaar later to make them the same everywhere.

Hope it helps !
