Because the JEE Main exam is conducted in different sessions and shifts, the level of difficulty also varies, and to deal with this, the authorities use the process of JEE normalisation. NTA releases the normalised JEE Main 2026 scores to indicate the percentage of examinees whose scores are equal to or below the scores of the candidate who scored the highest in that particular session. The formula used for the calculation of NTA scores for the JEE result 2026 session 1 is as follows:
Formula = (100 x number of candidates who appeared in the session with a raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / total number of candidates who appeared in that session
Aspirants may note that the normalised NTA score is not the same as that of the percentage of marks obtained in the JEE test.
The National Testing Agency calculates the scores of JEE Main 2026 for the percentile for individual subjects separately (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) as well as in the combined format using the normalisation formula as shown below.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
Total Percentile (T1P) | (100 x No. of candidates from the session with a raw score equal to or less than T1 score) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Mathematics Percentile (M1P) | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than than M1 score in Mathematics) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Chemistry Percentile (C1P): | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than C1 score in Chemistry) / Total No. of candidates who 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 who appeared in the session |
