The percentile score is not equivalent to the percentage of marks obtained. Instead, it reflects a candidate's performance of a compared to others who appeared for the exam in the same session. It is determined through a normalization process, which is crucial because JEE Main is conducted across multiple sessions (on different shifts and days), and the difficulty level may vary from one session to another.
The rank is the actual position of the candidate in the overall merit list compiled after all shifts of JEE Main are completed. The NTA uses the best percentile out of multiple attempts (January and April sessions) to calculate the final All India Rank (AIR).
The rank reflects your standing among all the candidates who appeared in the examination. A lower rank (closer to 1) indicates a better performance.
All India Rank (AIR): Used for general admissions.
Category Rank: Indicates the candidate’s position within their specific category (e.g., SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS).
State Rank: Position among students from the same state.
Number of candidates appearing: More candidates increase competition and make ranks more competitive.
Session-wise difficulty: Normalization ensures that percentile accounts for different levels of difficulty in sessions.
Ties in scores: When multiple candidates secure the same percentile, tie-breaking rules come into play.
