JEE Main score vs percentile 2026 - Candidates can check the JEE Mains 2026 scores vs percentile in this article. The JEE score vs percentile details are released by the experts of Careers360 after evaluating the past years' scores vs percentile. The expected percentile for the mark range from 300 to 30 is around 100 to 50 percentile. NTA does not release JEE Mains score vs percentile officially, hence this is approximate information for candidates attempting the exam. Since the difficulty level varies, NTA will use the JEE Main 2026 normalisation process to ensure fairness. A candidate's raw score (marks obtained) is converted into a percentile to determine their All India Rank (AIR). Further, the session 1 JEE Main 2026 exam will be conducted from January 21 to 24, 28 & 29, 2026, while the session 2 will be held from April 2 to 9, 2026.

Percentile = 1000000 - 5000 ÷ 1000000 × 100 = 99.5
In other words, the candidate performed better than 99.5% of test takers.
