JEE Mains 2025 Result Live: How NTA Calculates Percentile

The National Testing Agency (NTA) uses a normalisation process to calculate percentile scores in JEE Main, ensuring fairness across multiple shifts with varying difficulty levels. The percentile is not the raw score, but a reflection of a candidate's relative performance.

Here's how it works:
• The highest raw score in each session is assigned the 100th percentile.
• Percentiles are calculated separately for each subject: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
• The overall percentile is determined based on the candidate's relative position among all candidates in their session.
• For candidates appearing in both sessions, the best percentile is considered for the final ranking.
• NTA does not aggregate or average marks; instead, percentile scores are compared.

This method ensures a level playing field by factoring in the differing levels of difficulty across sessions, offering a fair assessment to all candidates.
