How to Calculate JEE Main 2024 Rank From Percentile?

How to Calculate JEE Main Rank from Percentile?: To calculate the rank of the JEE Main 2024 exam from the percentile the candidates need to apply the given formula which is: (100 – P)/100)*N+1

The JEE Main 2024 results and rank list are created by the NTA using the percentile calculation, and the JEE Main session 2 result has been released on Apr 24, 2024

According to the NTA's guidelines, the percentile of the total score is not an aggregate or average of the percentiles of each subject on the exam.

How to Calculate JEE Main 2024 Rank?

In order to answer the question of how to calculate the JEE Main 2024 rank, at first it is necessary to break down the solution block by block so that it is better to understand how it works in a sequence. 

The metrics required are:

• The total number of students appearing in that session of JEE Main examination
• The highest raw score achieved by the student in that session of JEE Main
• The number of students scoring lesser marks than others.

Variables Required to Calculate JEE Main 2024 Rank 

What is the percentile rank formulae? To obtain a rank from your NTA percentile score (that we talked about above) alone, the following variables are used in the formula. For brevity, they are also denoted by letters:

• NTA Score (P);
• the total number of students who have appeared for the exam (N);
• the percentage of students below or equal to your marks (P);
• the percentage of students above your marks (100 - P);
• and finally, the number of students above your marks (([100 - P] / 100) * N).

Compared to the other variables, the first two are easier to obtain.

Formula to Calculate Your JEE Main Rank 

Given below is the percentile calculator of JEE Main. It can also be used as JEE Main percentile predictor. With the variables above, we can use the following formula to obtain your JEE Main 2024 rank from your Percentile Score. 

(100-P)/100)* N+1)

Note: Keep in mind that whatever result you receive is merely an estimation of the real results that will appear once they are announced.

This is largely due to various factors that come into play during the evaluation process.

Examples to Calculate the JEE Main Rank

To simplify the understanding of the calculations with the given formula, let’s take the example of two candidates (Rohan & Shiv) who finished their JEE Main 2024 exams, attempting both times (Jan & April).

Let’s say that the number of candidates that appeared was approximately 2 lakhs.

 JEE Main Percentile Score

Student	Percentile Score for January	Percentile Score for April
Rohan	95	60
Shiv	65	98

Rohan came out of the exams securing the 95th percentile in Jan. Shiv, however, finished the exams securing just the 60th percentile.

Coming to April, their performances change. This time, Rohan didn’t prepare himself well enough and came away with just the 65th percentile. Shiv learned from his mistakes and scored a whopping 98th percentile.

This means that if we apply the formula to Rohan's & Shiv's percentile scores, we get the following:

Percentile Calculation

Student	Percentile Calculation
Rohan	([100 - 95] / 100) * 2,00,000 + 1
Shiv	([100-98] / 100) * 2,00,000 + 1

According to the NTA, the candidates’ rankings are assigned based on the best of the two NTA percentile scores of candidates who appeared for both sessions.

Only then are the AIR published via a rank list. Additionally, it is only done once the normalisation process is carried out.

What is JEE Main 2024 NTA Percentile Score?

How to calculate the percentile in JEE Main? The percentile score — also known as the ‘NTA Percentile Score’ (more commonly, ‘NTA score’) — is what tells you of your performance by comparing it to all candidates who have appeared for the examination.

In the context of calculating ranks, do keep in mind that the final percentile scores are used (the percentile score collated from all the sessions).

With that said, the ranking calculation uses the highest prioritised final percentile score, and not necessarily the overall final percentile score. The priority works as follows:

Overall Percentile > Maths > Physics > Chemistry > Age

If the candidate’s overall percentile score overlaps with another candidate’s overall percentile score, then the final percentile for the next category in the list is considered.

If clashes occur between within those categories as well, the higher rank would then go to whichever candidate is older. If all the cases overlap, then both candidates are given the same rank.

JEE Main 2024 Rank Declaration

The conducting bodies, NTA declare the JEE Main ranks through their official website. Each session has its declaration timelines presented.

Candidates can check their ranks by logging in with their JEE Main registration number and password. Mentioned below is the process to check the rank:

• Candidates need to visit the official website of JEE Main and click on the rank list displayed on the web page. 
• Candidates have to enter their registration number and password. 
• Press the 'Submit' button and log in.
• It is advisable for the candidates to check all the details and take a printout.

Points to Remember

The NTA percentile score used for the rank calculation is the highly prioritised percentile score. If clashes are occurring between candidates in this regard, then the oldest is awarded the highest rank.

Additionally, here are some of the binding points:

• AIR is declared mostly during the week after the conduction of the examinations themselves. The process is further carried out via normalisation, without which AIR cannot be provided.
• Our JEE Main Rank Predictor can be used as a better, more convenient alternative to finding out an approximate rank that you hold.
• A percentile is not the same as a percentage.
