Hello Aspirant,

It would be difficult to tell you about the qualifying cutoff. But a score of more than 85 you should have decent chance to qualify the exam as General Category.

You may calculate your expected rank by this formula

100 - your total percentile score is the percentage of people ahead of you. 874469 are the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100

Good Luck!

Hi dear,

Your son got 97.02 percentile that means his rank is around 25896. If number of student in April month exam will increase then rank will also increase. You can also calculate your rank as

Rank=(100-your percentile)×869010÷100.

Hello

According to your percentile, chances are less to get admission in colleges through JoSAA Counselling. You might get a seat through state level counsellings.

If you have valid documents to prove that you belong to EWS category, you can change your Category to EWS for JEE Mains April application. Because EWS reservation is for Candidates who belong to General Category and whose annual income from all sources is less than 8 lakhs. So if you fulfil the criteria, you can select EWS Category during April session. There wont be any issue because EWS is Category taken out of General Category. So even if you have opted General Category as your option in January session, you can still select EWS as your Category for April session.

To calculate your rank with the help of your percentile, we should use the formula:(100-your total percentile)*869010/100.  Now, this is for the January session. If the no. of Candidates appearing for JEE Mains April session is increased to 12,00,000 then your final rank is calculated using the formula:(100 - your total score) X 12,00,000/100.

Hey,

To calculate the rank, you first need to know the percentage of people ahead of you with higher percentile scores. To calculate that, the formula would be 100 which is the highest score minus your percentile score.

Since the percentile is calculated from a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees, the formula applies the total number of students in the January session which is 8,69,010 /100 multiplied by the percentage of people who are ahead of you to arrive at the rank.

Hello gurpinder

Unfortunately your score is very low as 58 percentile is very low and hence I'll suggest you to study again and then give exam again with better preparation. You need more than 72 percentile.

I hope it helps.
