NTA JEE Main Normalization Process

Because the JEE Main examination is conducted in various sessions, the level of difficulty also varies and to deal with this, the process of normalization is used by authorities. The normalized JEE Main scores released by NTA indicate the percentage of candidates whose scores are equal or below the scores of the candidate who scored the highest in that particular session. The formula used for calculation NTA scores is shown below:

Formula - (100 x number of candidates appeared in the session with raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / total number of candidates appeared in that session

Candidates may note that the normalized NTA score is not the same as that of the percentage of marks obtained in the examination.

Tie Breaking in JEE Main Result

The JEE Main result 2021 will be prepared based upon the performance of candidates in the January or April session of the exam.

• NTA score in Chemistry

• Candidates with less number of negative marks

• Candidate older in age
