JEE Percentile to Rank Calculator
Convert your NTA percentile score to an estimated rank using the official formula.
JEE Main 2026: ~15.4 lakh unique candidates appeared across both sessions. Use the all-session total for your Common Rank List (CRL).
How the formula works
NTA percentile is not your percentage of correct answers. It is the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below you. A 95 percentile means 95% of candidates scored at or below your marks. The formula Rank = ceil((1 − P/100) × N) gives the number of candidates who scored strictly above you.
