Suppose if a student gets 70 percent marks and the total number of students who got 70% marks or less are 15000 in number, the total number of aspirants in that session is 18000, then the percentile would be: 100 X 15000 / 18000 = 83.33 %.

How to Calculate the percentile for JEE Main Exam 2022

There is a formula on the basis of which the percentile is calculated the formula is:

100 X Number of candidates appeared in the ‘Session’ with raw score equal to or less than the candidate / Total number of candidates who have appeared in that session.

Let us take an example:

Suppose if a student gets 70 percent marks and the total number of students who got 70% marks or less are 15000 in number, the total number of aspirants in that session is 18000, then the percentile would be: 100 X 15000 / 18000 = 83.33 %.
