Percentile Calculation
In JEE Main, merit is determined through the NTA percentile score, not raw marks directly. The National Testing Agency prepares an All India Rank (AIR) based on normalized scores across different sessions. On one side, this percentile system ensures fairness across multiple shifts; on the other, some students feel normalization can slightly vary results depending on paper difficulty. Ultimately, merit decides eligibility for counseling via JoSAA and admission into top institutes.
Expected Cut OFF
OBC: 79-81 percentile
SC: 61-64 percentile
ST: 48-50 percentile
PwD: 0.001-1 percentile
