Candidates appearing for JEE Main must be aware, How is JEE Main Rank calculated. Aspirants might be aware that admissions to its participating institutes including NITs, IIITs and GFTIs are done on the basis of All India Rank secured by examinees in the entrance exam. But, what most of the JEE Main aspirants might not be able to understand is how their AIR is actually
calculated and how their Class XII marks are converted in normalised scores. Careers360 here simplifies the normalisation process of Class XII marks and JEE Main Rank calculation for your better understanding.Important Links:

How is JEE Main Rank List prepared?
JEE Main Rank List is prepared with composite scores of JEE Main and Normalized Marks of Class XII in the ratio of 60:40. The composite scores are arranged in merit and the rank is awarded on this basis only.
How composite scores are arrived at?
Composite Score for JEE Main All India Rank (AIR) =
(JEE Main Marks)*60+ (Normalised score of Class XII marks)*40
100
Now JEE Main Score is well understood. It is the total score that you get in JEE Main exam. But what is normalised score of class XII marks.
How to calculate Normalised score of Class XII marks?
For your easy understanding, we bring you step-by-step process to calculate your normalised score of class XII marks.
Normalised score of your class XII marks is actually the average of two JEE Main scores. what are these two JEE Main scores? The two JEE Main scores are derived by directly linking your Class XII Results to overall JEE Main Results.
Here is how?
Step 1: On the basis of your Class XII results, your percentile is calculated. You can calculate your percentile by using the formula below-
Number of candidates in your board with aggregate marks less than you*100
Total number of candidates in the group
Example:
Let's assume that your score is 60 percent from a particular board where a total of 13,711 candidates are eligible for JEE Main. Also suppose number of canddiates scoring less than 60 per cent marks in your board is 6,865. Now, on basis of your ranking in the board result your percentile will be calculated as below:
Number of candidates in your board with aggregate marks less than you*100
Total number of candidates in the group
= 6865*100 = 50.07 percentile
13711
Step 2: Scores of all JEE Main canddiates appearing on All India basis are arranged in Merit and their percentile is derived. Here, we assume that the total number of JEE Main eligible candidates on All India basis is 11,53,667. The JEE Main score belonging to the corresponding JEE Main percentile of your Class XII percentile (P) is figured now. Let it be B1
Example:
As shown in the image below, let's assume that JEE Main marks for a JEE Main percentile which is equal to your board percentile is 48. Thus B1=48.
Step 3: Now, scores of all JEE Main eligible canddiates appearing from your Class XII Board are arranged in Merit and again their percetile is derived. Again, the JEE Main score belonging to the corresponding JEE Main percentile of your Class XII percentile (P) is figured. Let it be B2.
Example, as shown in the image below, let's assume that JEE Main marks for a JEE Main percentile which is equal to your board percentile is 80. Thus B2=80.
Step 4: Now average of B1 and B2 is your actual normalised score. Thus your normalised score is
B1+B2 = 48+80 = 64
2 2
Now, assuming that your JEE Main score is 90, the composite score calculated for your JEE Main Rank list will be:
(JEE Main Marks)*60+ (Normalised score of Class XII marks)*40
100
= (90*60)+(64*40) = 5400+2560 = 7960 = 79.60
100 100 100
Finally, this composite score is arranged in merit order and the rank are derived accordingly.
Further, making it easy to comprehend it better, Careers360 also simplifies here a few technical terms that are are very important to understand How is JEE Main rank calculated.
What is the difference between Percentage and Percentile?
Meaning of percentage of marks and percentile are completely different. While percentage is calculated on the basis of the total marks obtained out of the total marks, percentile score reflects how much percent of candidates have scored below you in a particular examination.
Which subjects are considered for calculating percentile score?
A total of five subjects are taken into account for calculation of percentile and normalization of qualifying examination marks. These subjects are:
- Language,
- Physics,
- Mathematics,
- Any one of (Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational Subject),
- Any other subject
Important: In case a candidate has appeared in six subjects in the qualifying examination, the subject (fifth or sixth) with better marks is considered.
How the final AIR is determined?
By arranging the composite scores in Merit order, the All India JEE Main ranks are determined for JEE Main candidates.
