How to calculate the NTA score or percentile score of a candidate?

 

NTA score is not the exact percentage of marks candidates obtain in the JEE Main exam. The exact marks are called raw scores. To calculate the NTA score or percentile of a candidate:

 

NTA Score or Percentile =	100 X No. of candidates who scored equal to or less than specified marks
	Total no. of candidates appeared in the JEE Main Session 1 exam

 

Once the results of both the sessions of the JEE Main exam are released, the AIR (All India Ranks) of candidates will be declared based on the NTA scores of candidates of both sessions. For example, in 2025, Session 2 of the JEE Main exam was conducted in April, and the result is expected to be released shortly after the exam concludes.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What are the opening and closing ranks for IITs?
   Admission to B.Tech programs in IITs is done on the basis of All India Ranks (AIR) of candidates in the JEE Advanced exam. They will be declared after the JEE Advanced 2025 exam is conducted and its results are declared. The opening and closing ranks for admission to various B.Tech courses offered by IITs change every year.
    
2. What are the minimum marks required for admission to NITs, CFTIs, and other engineering colleges?
   Earlier, candidates had to obtain at least 75% marks in the Class 12 exam (or be in the top 20 percentile in the Class 12 exam) to be eligible for the JEE Main exam. NTA has removed this criterion now. The minimum marks required for admission to NITs, CFTIs, and other engineering colleges are based on the final NTA merit list.
    
3. What are the changes introduced in JEE Main 2022?
   The key changes of the JEE Main exam in recent years include the introduction of negative marking for Section B questions as well. Section B contains numerical value questions, and earlier, only Section A, which contained multiple-choice questions (MCQs), had negative markings.
   Now, there is a penalty of 1 mark for each incorrect answer (1 mark gets subtracted from the total score of the student) in both sections.
   For JEE Main 2025, students can choose their exam center cities from anywhere in India while filling out the form, offering greater flexibility compared to earlier years when students were limited to selecting centers from their state of present or permanent address. Also, candidates will be allowed to make corrections in their JEE Main application form during the specified correction window after submission.
    
4. What is the syllabus of JEE Main?The syllabus of JEE Main is prescribed by NTA and is based on Class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics topics. Candidates can check the detailed JEE Main syllabus here.
    
5. How can I become a JEE Main topper?
   There is no shortcut or magic formula to become a JEE Main topper. Candidates must focus on their Class 11 and 12 studies and be aware of the topics included in the JEE Main syllabus. They must also solve as many JEE Main mock tests and previous year papers as possible to get familiar with the exam pattern, types of questions asked, and the level of difficulty.
