How is the JEE Main result 2020 calculated?
JEE Main result is calculated in the form of percentile NTA score each for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and one combined score. NTA scores are obtained by normalization using the raw score obtained by the candidates. The following formula is used for obtaining the NTA score
Total Percentile (T1P): | 100 X | No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score |
| Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | ||
Mathematics Percentile (M1P) | 100 X | No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than M1 score in Mathematics |
| Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | ||
Physics Percentile (P1P) | 100 X | No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than P1 score in Physics |
| Total No. of candidates appeared in the session | ||
Chemistry Percentile (C1P): | 100x | No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than C1 score in Chemistry |
| Total No. of candidates appeared in the session |
Declaration of the final result of JEE Main 2020 and All India Ranks
JEE Main 2020 will be conducted in two attempts in January and April. Since the exam will be held on multiple shifts each day across the two sessions, the calculation of score to a single percentile score is done through a normalization process. The normalization is done to reach a disambiguated score of candidates despite the variations in difficulty level of question papers held on multiple shifts and sessions. NTA adopts an established formula for the calculation of percentile score.
Compilation and display of Paper 1 Result for First January session:
JEE Main 2020 Paper-1 first attempt will be conducted in multi-shifts, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate. This shall comprise of the four NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and the total in Paper-1 of JEE Main 2020 for the first attempt.
Compilation and display of Paper 1 Result after April session:
Similarly, JEE Main 2020 Paper-1 second attempt will be conducted in multi-shifts, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate. The calculated NTA scores for the Raw Marks for all the shifts/sessions will be merged for further processing. The four NTA scores for each of the candidates in Paper-1 of JEE Main 2020 for the first attempt as well as for the second attempt will be merged for compilation of results and preparation of overall Merit List / Ranking. Those appeared in both the attempts; their best of the two NTA scores (total) will be considered for further processing.
Tie-Breaking
In case of a tie when two or more candidates obtain equal Total NTA Score in JEE Main 2020, inter-se merit of such candidates shall be determined in the following order:
- Rank list for admission to B.E. /B. Tech
- NTA score of raw mark in Mathematics
- NTA score of raw mark in Physics
- NTA score of raw mark in Chemistry
- Candidates older in age
If the resolution is not possible after this criterion, candidates will be given the same rank.
The NTA scores of both the attempts and rank of Paper 1 of JEE Main 2020 for all candidates who appeared in first attempt as well as in second will be declared by April, 2020. This shall comprise the four NTA scores obtained by the candidate in first attempt and four NTA scores obtained in second attempt along with the status of those who qualify for appearing in JEE Advanced 2020 provided and subject to other conditions of eligibility being met. The rank shall comprise All India rank and All India category rank
Compilation and display of Paper 2 Result for January session
JEE Main 2020 Paper-2 may be conducted in single-shift only, the raw marks obtained by all the candidates who appeared in first attempt will be declared by January, 2020. This shall comprise the actual marks obtained in Paper-2 of JEE Main 2020 for the first attempt.
Compilation and display of JEE Main Paper 2 Result after April session
JEE Main 2020 Paper 2 second attempt also may be conducted in single-shift, the raw marks obtained by all the candidates who appeared in the second shift as well as for the first attempt will be merged for compilation of results and preparation of overall Merit List / Ranking. Those appeared in both the attempts; their best of the two raw marks will be considered for further processing.
In case of a tie when two or more candidates obtain equal Total Marks in JEE Main 2020, inter-se merit of such candidates shall be determined in the following order:
- Rank list for admission to B.Arch./B.Planning
- Candidates obtaining higher marks in Aptitude Test in Paper-2
- Candidates obtaining higher marks in Drawing Test in Paper-2
- Candidates older in age
If the resolution is not possible after this criterion, candidates will be given the same rank.

This shall comprise the total raw marks obtained by the candidate in first attempt as well as in second attempt along with All India rank and All India category rank.
Difference between percentage and percentile score
Students must note that percentage and percentile are two different entities. Percentage is the absolute number while percentage is relative. If a student obtained 90 marks out of 100, his/her percentage will be 90 but percentile would be different. Percentile score is calculated in relation to the total number of candidates appeared. The formula for calculating the percentage and percentile is given below
| Percentage | Percentile |
| Percentage =Marks obtained / Total marks (x) 100 | Percentile =100 (x) Number of candidates in the group with aggregate marks less than that obtained by the candidate / Total number of candidates in the group |
