Dear Student,

For general category to get 96 percentile depends upon the difficulty level of paper,no of students scoring marks above you and many factors.You should score around 130 marks or 130+ to be on safe side to get this percentile.

Hello Dear,

Yes, you are qualified in JEE MAIN. On this percentile your marks must be between 100-110 and General rank between 35,000. As you know the cutoff changes every years because it depends upon the number of seats available, the difficulty level of paper and number of candidates writing the examination hence varies every year depending on these factors. It also depends on home state and other state as you have not mentioned your home state.
