JEE Mains 2026 Expected Percentile - As NTA conducts the JEE Main exam in multiple sessions, the authority releases the result in the form of the JEE Main 2026 percentile. Higher raw marks in the JEE Main exam will mean a higher JEE Main percentile. For a 99 percentile, candidates may need to score at least 180 marks. Candidates can check their expected score in the exam using the JEE Main 2026 answer key. They can then compare their raw scores to the JEE Main 2026 expected percentile. Hence, candidates need to be aware of the expected percentile for their raw scores in the JEE Main 2026 exam.
The NTA will close the JEE Main Session 2 correction window today, February 28. Candidates can make corrections in their submitted application form through the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.

Instead of the raw marks being released directly, the JEE Main 2026 percentile is calculated for fairness across multiple sessions. Hence, candidates should be aware of the JEE Main marks vs percentile. Along with the answer key, the JEE Main response sheet and question paper have also been published on the official website. Using these three documents, candidates can determine their JEE Main 2026 raw scores.
