Example of JEE Main Percentile Calculation

If a candidate receives 150 points and there were 10,000 students in that session, with a rank of 5000, the percentile is as follows:

Percentile = 1000000 - 5000 ÷ 1000000 × 100 = 99.5

In other words, the candidate performed better than 99.5% of test takers.

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello

Yes, it creates a problem if you're 12th LC(state OBC) and JEE(Central OBC/EWS) categories differ.

JoSAA requires a central OBC-NCL certificate for OBC reservation; since Karnataka OBC isn't central, you will be treated as general, or you can use a Declaration for OBC-to-General conversions from during counseling, but switching to EWS needs you to have applied as EWS initially. Your EWS certificate works if you meet the income criteria, but yes the important  thing is Central OBC list for OBC, not state list.

Hope it helps you, in case of any doubts you can directly drop your query or you can visit to Careers360.com

Hello,

You passed your Class 12 (Intermediate) from UP Board in 2024 .
As per JEE Advanced rules , a candidate can appear only in the year of Class 12 passing and the next consecutive year

  • Eligible years for you were 2024 and 2025

  • You already appeared in 2025

  • 2026 is not allowed

Your health issue does not change this rule.

You can still take JEE Main again in 2026 , but not JEE Advanced.

Hope it helps !
