👉 Formula used:

NTA Score = (100 × Number of candidates with score ≤ your score) ÷ Total candidates in session

Important:

• This is a percentile score, not percentage marks

• It ensures fairness across different exam shifts

JEE Main Percentile Calculation

The percentile is calculated separately for:

• Physics

• Chemistry

• Mathematics

• Overall Score

Final ranking is based on the overall percentile, not raw marks.
