Hello,

The marks vs percentile score trends depends on the highest marks scored by a candidate, difficulty level of the exam, total number of candidates appeared, tie breakers etc. Percentile score is the total percentage of  candidates who have scored equal marks or less than you in the session. The marks scored in each individual subject and the overall marks scored will be considered. The predicted score before the result and the final score varies because the predicted percentile score is based on previous year data and the numbers keep changing for the given factors that determine the percentile.  And the result that is published by NTA is fair and final. There will not be any discrepancies in the results.

With 76 percentile you may qualify in JEE Main 2021 based on previous year cut off percentile if you belong to OBC/EWS/SC/ST/PWD but if you belong to general category you may not qualify.

The qualifying cut off percentile for JEE Main 2020 was as follows

  • General:90.3765335
  • OBC-NCL:72.8887969
  • EWS:70.2435518
  • SC:50.1760245
  • ST:39.0696101
  • PWD:0.0618524

Cut off changes every year depending on various factors like number of seats available, difficulty level of exam and number of candidates appeared etc. You may prepare for JEE Advanced if you are interested to get admission in IIT.
