Dear Aspirant,
Let me provide you a brief insight regarding marks in Jee Mains, it's distribution, percentile and rank.
The three subjects included are Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics ( each having 25 questions or 100 marks).
Hence, the total or maximum marks is 300(100 +100+100)
Now, let me to you how percentile is calculated ( i.e. on shift or session basis ).
Percentile of a student:-
( Number of students who scored marks less than you in your shift/ total number of students who appeared in your shift) * 100.
Rank is calculated on the basis of marks. Higher the marks, lower or better the rank.
Students need to score close to 210 marks to qualify for JEE ADVANCED for general category students.
