JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Result Analysis

Understanding Your JEE Main 2026 Score and Percentile

Your JEE Main result includes percentile scores, which reflect your relative performance compared to other candidates. Percentiles are not the same as raw marks, they are calculated based on how many students you have outperformed in that session.

What’s included in your scorecard:

• Section‑wise Percentile: Shows your performance in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics separately.
• Overall Percentile: Your overall score as compared to all students in the session.
• Raw Marks: The number of marks you secured out of 300 (scaled to percentile).
• Rank: NTA will also release your All India Rank (AIR) after the final result.

Why Percentile Matters

Percentile shows how many candidates you have outperformed.
A higher percentile indicates better performance in comparison to others who appeared in the same session.
