How to Calculate Rank from Percentile?
Candidates can estimate their rank using the following formula: For example,
Let’s assume:
| Your NTA score = | P |
| Total Number of Students = | N |
| Percentage of students below or equal to your marks = | PFor example: if you have secured a 70 percentile in JEE Main, which means that 70% of the candidates who appeared for JEE Main are below or at the same level as you are |
| Percentage of students above your marks = | 100 – P |
| Number of students above your marks | ((100 – P)/100)*N |
Now, the formula to calculate JEE Main Rank from Percentile Score is:
((100 – P)/100)*N 1
The rank generated will be the probable All India Rank (AIR) you can expect to secure in JEE Main. The actual rank might differ owing to different factors.
Factors Affecting Cutoff
Number of Available Seats: The number of seats in IITs also impacts the cutoff range.
Number of Candidates Appearing: Higher participation leads to higher cutoffs.
Difficulty Level of the Exam: A tougher exam results in a lower cutoff and vice versa.
Previous Year Cutoff Trends: Cutoffs usually follow a trend with slight variations.
