Understanding the JEE Main Percentile System
The JEE Main results are declared in percentile scores rather than raw marks—a system that normalizes scores across multiple sessions. This approach ensures fairness despite varying difficulty levels across different shifts.
For reference, here’s how the percentile scores typically correspond to raw marks (based on previous trends):
| Raw Marks Range | Approximate Percentile Range |
|---|---|
| 300 – 290 | 100 – 99.99 |
| 290 – 280 | 99.99 – 99.97 |
| 280 – 270 | 99.97 – 99.95 |
| 270 – 260 | 99.95 – 99.93 |
| 260 – 250 | 99.93 – 99.90 |
| 250 – 240 | 99.90 – 99.87 |
| 240 – 230 | 99.87 – 99.84 |
| 230 – 220 | 99.84 – 99.81 |
| 220 – 210 | 99.81 – 99.73 |
| 210 – 200 | 99.73 – 99.62 |
| 200 – 150 | 99.62 – 98.77 |
| 150 – 100 | 98.77 – 95.64 |
| 100 – 50 | 95.64 – 81.57 |

Eligibility Criteria for NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs
Beyond securing a good rank in JEE Main 2025, candidates must also meet additional eligibility criteria for admission to NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs:
