The NTA percentile score is not the raw marks. It is calculated based on the candidate\u2019s relative performance compared to others in the same session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The formula used: $Percentile Score = (Number of candidates with raw score equal to or less than yours \/ Total candidates in the session) \u00d7 100<\/annotation><\/semantics><\/math>PercentileScore=(Numberofcandidateswithrawscoreequaltoorlessthanyours\/Totalcandidatesinthesession)\u00d7100<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis normalization process ensures fairness across multiple shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>How to Check JEE Mains 2026 Result Online<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCandidates can download their scorecards by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nVisit the official JEE Main website.<\/li>\n\n\n\nClick on \u201cJEE Main 2026 Session 1 Result\u201d<\/strong> link.<\/li>\n\n\n\nEnter:\n\nApplication Number<\/li>\n\n\n\nPassword<\/li>\n\n\n\nSecurity Captcha<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nClick Submit.<\/li>\n\n\n\nDownload and print the scorecard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nThe scorecard includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSubject-wise NTA Percentile (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics)<\/li>\n\n\n\nTotal NTA Score<\/li>\n\n\n\nCandidate details<\/li>\n\n\n\nQualification status for JEE Advanced (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>What\u2019s Next After JEE Main 2026 Results?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/span>1\ufe0f\u20e3 JEE Advanced 2026<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTop 2.5 lakh rank holders will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2026<\/strong>, conducted by one of the IITs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>2\ufe0f\u20e3 JoSAA Counselling<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nQualified candidates can participate in JoSAA counselling<\/strong> for admissions into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nIITs<\/li>\n\n\n\nNITs<\/li>\n\n\n\nIIITs<\/li>\n\n\n\nGFTIs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>3\ufe0f\u20e3 Session 2 Opportunity<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCandidates can also appear in JEE Main 2026 Session 2<\/strong> to improve their scores.
