Jee mains 2020 Rank vs Percentile : Jee 2020 Expected cutoffs

JEE Main Marks vs Percentile – With NTA announcing normalization for JEE Main, the most commonly searched term by engineering aspirants has been the JEE Main marks vs percentile. This is because of the fact that NTA has specified the normalization procedure but has not shed any light on the specific data that have been used to arrive at the JEE Main percentile versus marks. Since ranks will be derived on the basis of the percentile, students are searching for the percentile they will obtain for the marks they expect in JEE Main. In this article detailing the JEE Main percentile vs marks, we look at the expected range based on the past trends and the normalization formula used by NTA. Check the details of the JEE Main marks vs percentile below in this article.

JEE Main Normalization:

Normalization is incorporated to equalise the difficulty levels of the exam when it is conducted in multiple sessions. So NTA will declare the percentile scores obtained after normalization. Percentile scores indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored equal to or below that particular percentile in that examination and this is generally from a scale of 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.

NTA will compile the raw marks of the students and normalize the same to arrive at the percentile scores for each subject – Maths, Physics and Chemistry as well as total. The highest score of each session will get the same percentile of 100 which is ideal. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores will also be converted to percentiles. This percentile score will be used for the preparation of the merit lists. It is to be noted that the percentile scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places such that bunching effect can be reduced as can ties amongst candidates with the same scores.

The detailed process with examples for the JEE Main 2020 normalization is explained here

Tie breaker guidelines: these guidelines come into effect when two or more candidates obtain equal percentile scores. The inter-se-merit- is determined in the order given as follows

• Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Mathematics will be ranked higher.
• Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Physics will be given the higher rank
• Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Chemistry will get the higher rank
• Candidates older in age will be given preference

The result of JEE Main 2020 will be released separately for the January and April sessions. The best of the two scores will be taken for candidates who have attempted both the sessions. The merit list will be prepared on the final scores and ranks announced on the basis of the same.

JEE Main Normalisation Process

Before understanding the JEE Main normalization, it is important to understand why it is incorporated. Normalisation helps in equalising the difficulty level of the exam conducted in multiple sessions on the scheduled dates. The JEE Main percentile score obtained by a candidate is determined only after applying normalization to the marks obtained by a candidate. JEE Main Percentile scores indicate the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below that particular percentile in the examination. A percentile score is measured on the scale of 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.

After compiling the raw marks, the NTA applies Normalisation formula to get the percentile scores of a candidate for each subject – Maths, Physics, and Chemistry as well as total. The highest score of each session will get the same percentile of 100 which is ideal. The percentile score has been used for the preparation of the JEE Main merit list. The percentile scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid ties amongst candidates with the same scores.

JEE Main 2020 Normalisation Process: Tie Breaker Guidelines

The following comes into effect when two or more candidates obtain equal percentile scores. The inter-se-merit will be determined according to the following rules in case of a tie.

• Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Mathematics will be ranked higher
• If a tie still exists, the candidate with higher Percentile Score in Physics will be given the higher rank
• If a tie still exists, the candidate obtaining higher Percentile Score in Chemistry will get the higher rank
• If a tie still exists, candidate older in age will be given preference

The JEE Main 2020 result will be released separately for the January and April sessions on January 31 and April 30 respectively. The best score of the two sessions will be taken into consideration for candidates who appeared in both the sessions. The merit list will be prepared on the final scores and ranks announced based on the same.
