This year, not only the number of students expected to get top scores have gone up but the cut-off to be considered qualified for JEE Advanced is expected to rise. Experts believe that the cut-off would touch about 90 percentile this year. This was the first time that NTA allowed four attempts at JEE Mains. Usually, there are two attempts in the exam. More attempts and the extended-time period has allowed students more time to prepare which took competition one notch up.
This year, the rank calculating criteria has been changed. Since NTA uses normalisation as a criterion to give marks, several students end up getting the same or similar scores. While releasing the rank list, tie-breaking policies are adopted. This year there has been a change in tie-breaking policy and age as one of the criteria has been dropped
Results once announced will be made available at official websites of NTA — nta.ac.in or jeemain.nta.nic.in in. The result will be in form of percentile scores. Percentile scores are relative markings. The raw score obtained by students is converted into percentile scores by taking the highest marks obtained by a student in a given session as 100 percentile and then the rest are marked according to them.
