Marks needed for 99 percentile, shift by shift
Tougher shifts need fewer marks for the same percentile: that is NTA's normalisation at work.

How the percentile and rank are worked out
Percentile, per shift
NTA ranks you against everyone in your shift: percentile = 100 × (candidates in your shift with your score or less) ÷ (candidates in your shift).
Best of two sessions
If you write both January and April, NTA keeps your higher percentile. That one decides your rank.
Rank from percentile
AIR ≈ (100 − percentile) × total candidates ÷ 100. With 15,38,468 candidates in 2026, every 0.1 percentile is about 1,538 ranks.
Frequently asked questions
NTA calculates a percentile for every shift separately: the percentage of candidates in your shift who scored the same as you or less. That is why the same marks give a different percentile in an easy shift and a tough shift. The topper of every shift gets 100 percentile.
About this data
NTA does not publish a marks vs percentile table. The tables here are the post-result compilations of JEE Main 2026 used by coaching institutes and education portals, with NTA's official candidate numbers and qualifying cutoffs. Your scorecard is the final word.
