Which percentile will be used to decide the final rank of a candidate?

Last Updated : 29 Dec, 2023

In the JEE Main exam, if a candidate appears in multiple sessions, the best percentile score out of the attempts will be used to decide their final rank. Here's how it works:

  • Multiple Attempts: If you take the JEE Main in more than one session, you will get a percentile score for each attempt.
  • Best Score Counts: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will consider the highest percentile score among all your attempts.
  • Calculation of Final Rank: Your final rank in the JEE Main will be based on this best percentile score. This rank is used for the admission process in various engineering colleges.
  • Normalization Process: The percentile scores are calculated through a normalization process, which ensures that the scores are fair and equitable, considering that the exam is conducted in multiple sessions and might have varying levels of difficulty
