How Is the JEE Main Percentile Calculated?
JEE Main uses normalization to score the exams, because it can be administrated over several separate shifts of time where there is fuzzily defined line separating them for practical management purposes. The “percentile score” means how much better a candidate did relative to other candidates in that same session.
If you want a deeper breakdown of normalization and expected ranks, refer to our <a href=”https://indiascope.in/jee-main-percentile-vs-rank-analysis/”>JEE Main Percentile vs Rank Analysis</a> article.
In other words:
- The 99 percentile figure reflects better ability than 99% of candidates in that session
All this normalization serves to ensure fairness for different difficulty levels across exam shifts.
What After JEE Mains Result 2026?

State-Level Counselling
Many states use JEE Main scores to allocate places for their state engineering colleges.
Students are advised to prepare necessary documents in advance, including category certificates (if applicable), identify proof and academic records.
Expected Cut-Off for JEE Mains 2026
While the official cut-off will not be announced until the result comes out in coming weeks, experts say:
- General category cut-offs might remain about the same as last year
- With relaxed qualifying percentiles, reserved categories will find it easier
- Top NIT branches like CSE could possibly need 99+ percentile
However, the final cut-offs will depend on factors such as:
- Number and quality of candidates taking the exam
