JEE Mains Marks vs Percentile explained
The JEE Mains 2026 scorecard will display the percentile scores in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, along with the overall aggregate percentile. The list of toppers will also be released alongside the scorecards.
The NTA has clarified that the cutoff marks and All India Ranks will not be included in the session 1 result. These details will be announced later, after subsequent sessions are completed.
The results for session one will be announced on February 16.
Along with the results, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will publish the final answer key, enabling candidates to calculate their expected scores using the JEE Main marking scheme. Over 13 lakh candidates appeared for the examination, competing for seats in engineering, architecture, and planning programmes. To ensure fairness across different shifts and papers, the NTA applies a normalisation process that converts raw marks into a standardised NTA score or percentile ranging from 100 to 0.
