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.
