Understanding NTA Score (Percentile)

The NTA Score is a percentile score, not your raw marks. A score of 95.00 means you performed better than 95% of all candidates who appeared in your session. NTA uses this normalized scoring to eliminate variations in difficulty across different exam shifts. The final merit list uses the best NTA score from both sessions.

Approximately 2.5 lakh unique candidates from JEE Main 2026 Paper 1 qualified for JEE Advanced 2026 — this cap is fixed by the Joint Admission Board and filled category-wise.
