JEE Main 2026 Score and Percentile Calculation
The NTA JEE Main 2026 result is released in the form of an NTA JEE percentile score, not raw marks. The JEE Main NTA scoring method normalises results across shifts. This is where students get confused. Basically, the total marks in JEE Main are 300, which includes 100 marks each for physics, chemistry as well as mathematics. Importantly, the Final All India Rank (AIR) is determined using the best NTA score across both Session 1 and Session 2, which is especially relevant now that both results are out.
How to Calculate Your Raw Score
- Download the final answer key and your response sheet
- Match your answers with the official key
- Add marks for correct answers and subtract for incorrect ones
- This gives your raw score out of 300
