JEE Main Marks Vs Percentile 2025: Understanding the Difference

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a highly competitive exam in India that determines admission to undergraduate engineering programs in top engineering colleges across the country. JEE Main is the first stage of the JEE exam, and it is conducted twice a year in January and April. Students who appear for the exam often have many questions about how their rank and percentile are calculated and how they are related to each other. In this article, we will explore the difference between JEE Main rank and percentile and how to understand their relationship. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet released the official cutoff scores for JEE Main 2025, as the examination is scheduled for January and April 2025 but you can go through the previous year's cut-off and expected cutoff.

JEE Main 2025

What is the JEE Main Rank?

JEE Main Rank is the position of a student on the basis of the marks they have scored in the exam. It is a numerical value assigned to a student based on their performance in JEE Main. The rank is calculated based on the total number of students who appeared for the exam and their scores. The higher the marks obtained by a student, the better their rank will be.

What is the JEE Main Percentile?

JEE Main Percentile is the percentage of students who have scored less than a particular student in the exam. It indicates the relative position of a student among all the students who appeared for the exam. The percentile is calculated based on the total number of students who appeared for the exam and their scores. The higher the percentile obtained by a student, the better their performance will be compared to other students.

JEE Main Percentile vs Rank

JEE Main Percentile and Rank are two different measures of a student's performance in the exam. The percentile is a relative measure, while the rank is an absolute measure. The percentile indicates a student's performance compared to other students who appeared for the exam, while the rank indicates a student's position based on their score. A student's rank can be determined using their percentile, but their percentile cannot be determined using their rank alone.

Importance of JEE Main Rank and Percentile?

JEE Main Rank and Percentile are important for students who want to pursue engineering as their career. The rank and percentile determine the admission of a student to the top engineering colleges in the country. The better the rank and percentile obtained by a student, the higher the chances of getting admission to their desired college.

How is the JEE Main Rank Calculated?

JEE Main Rank is calculated based on the student's score in the exam. The rank is determined by normalizing the raw marks obtained by the student across all sessions of the exam. The normalization process takes into account the difficulty level of the exam and the variation in the number of students appearing in different sessions. The final rank list is prepared based on the normalized score of the students.

How is JEE Main Percentile Calculated?

JEE Main Percentile is calculated based on the total number of students who appeared for the exam and their scores. The percentile indicates the percentage of students who have scored less than a particular student in the exam. For example, if a student has scored a percentile of 95, it means that they have performed better than 95% of the students who appeared for the exam.

The examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of:

Raw Scores
Percentile Scores separately for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and the Total.

The following 4 Percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the Session:

Let T1, M1, P1, C1 be the raw scores in Total, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry of a candidate and T1P, M1P, P1P, C1P be the Percentile Scores of Total, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry of that candidate.

Total Percentile (T1P): 100×No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score total No. of candidates appeared in the session100 $\times \frac{\text{No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score}}{\text{Total No. of candidates appeared in the session}}100$×Total No of candidates who appeared in the session. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score

Mathematics Percentile (M1P): 100×No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than M1 score in MathematicsTotal No. of candidates appeared in the session100 $\times \frac{\text{No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than M1 score in Mathematics}}{\text{Total No. of candidates appeared in the session}}100$×Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than M1 score in Mathematics.

Physics Percentile (P1P): 100×No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than P1 score in Physics Total No. of candidates appeared in the session100 $\times \frac{\text{No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than P1 score in Physics}}{\text{Total No. of candidates appeared in the session}}100$×Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than P1 score in Physics.

Chemistry Percentile (C1P): 100×No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than C1 score in ChemistryTotal No. of candidates appeared in the session100 $\times \frac{\text{No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than C1 score in Chemistry}}{\text{Total No. of candidates appeared in the session}}100$×Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than C1 score in Chemistry.

JEE Percentile to Rank Conversion

JEE Main Percentile can be converted to rank using the JEE percentile vs rank table released by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The JEE rank vs percentile table provides the rank corresponding to a particular percentile. Students can use the table to estimate their rank based on their percentile.

JEE Main Marks vs Percentile Vs Rank 2025: Tiebreaker Guidelines

Here are the typical tiebreaker guidelines used in JEE Main:

Step 1: A higher percentile in Mathematics is preferred.
Step 2: If a tie remains, the higher percentile in Physics is considered.
Step 3: If a tie persists, the higher percentile in Chemistry is given preference.
Step 4: If candidates still have the same score, the candidate with fewer incorrect answers across all subjects is given priority.
Step 5: If the tie still isn't resolved, older candidates are given preference.

Reduced Exam Centers: The number of exam centers has been reduced from 300 to 284. Candidates should verify their allotted centers in advance

Conclusion

Understanding the difference between JEE Main rank and percentile is essential for students aspiring to pursue engineering in India. While rank indicates a student's position among all test-takers, percentile measures their performance relative to others in the same session. It's important to note that a good rank doesn't always guarantee admission to a desired college or course, as admission criteria may vary based on factors like category, state, and availability of seats. Therefore, students must strive for a high percentile score, which reflects their performance against the entire pool of candidates and increases their chances of getting into a top college or program.
