JEE Main result 2021 marks versus rank: Know how to calculate rank using marks

Why is it important to calculate rank using marks for JEE main 2021? It is because every candidate, after giving the exam, wants to know how many marks he/she will score in JEE Main exam to get his/her admission to the desired college of their choice. 

Knowing how many marks a candidate will get in the JEE exam (based on the score acquired) is the best way to estimate what rank will be allotted to the candidate for those marks. Here’s how to know marks vs ranks or how to calculate rank using marks.

JEE Mains 2021 marks vs rank  

The candidates can check the acquired marks or rank as the results of JEE Mains 2021 have been announced. So, candidates now can have an idea after analyzing JEE Main 2020 marks vs rank.

Before analyzing the previous year’s JEE marks vs rank, do you know how NTA arrives at the calculation of results vs ranks of JEE exams every year?

Let’s have a quick review of how JEE Main result is prepared.

How JEE Main result is prepared?

Every year the examination result for each session of JEE would be prepared in the form of:

• Raw scores
• Percentile scores separately secured for each of the three subjects i.e. physics, chemistry and mathematics and the total.

The following 4 percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the session.

Let T1, M1, P1 and C1 be the raw scores in the total of the three subjects PCM and T1P, M1P, P1P and C1P be the percentile scores of the total of PCM of a candidate.

Total percentile (T1P): 100 × No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw scores (equal to or less than T1 score) / total no of candidates appeared in the session.

Mathematics percentile (M1P): 100 × No. of candidates appeared from the session with the raw scores (equal to or less than M1 score in MATHS)/ total no of candidates appeared in the session.

Physics percentile (P1P): 100 × No. of candidates appeared from the session with the raw scores (equal to or less than P1 score in PHYSICS)/ total no of candidates appeared in the session.

Chemistry percentile (C1P): 100 × No. of candidates appeared from the session with the raw scores (equal to or less than C1 score in chemistry)/ total no of candidates appeared in the session.

Now coming back to our main topic of JEE Main marks vs rank.

According to the range of marks secured by the candidate in the JEE Main exam, the corresponding rank will be provided.
