Step 1: Raw Score Calculation
The subject-wise and overall score of the candidates is calculated as per the below-mentioned marking scheme:
Overall Score of JEE Main = (Number of correct responses x 4) – (Number of wrong responses x 1)
Step 2: Percentile Score Calculation
Below, in this article, the percentile calculation process (subject-wise and overall) has been described. In order to avoid the probabilities of ties percentile scores with 7 decimal places are calculated.
Step 3: Factors determined for Tie-breaking
A tie between the JEE main scores of two or more candidates is a very rare situation. However, NTA has defined a few criteria to break the tie. These criteria are discussed below in this article.
JEE Main Result – Percentile Calculation
The result of JEE Main 2020 will be announced with the percentile-based NTA score of candidates in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and one overall (combined) score. Below formula will help test-takers understand the JEE Main result calculation better.
Formula to calculate NTA percentile
- Total Percentile (T1P) = 100 X Number of test-takers with a raw score equal to or less than T1 score/ Total number of candidates appeared in April session
- Physics Percentile (P1P) = 100 X Number of test-takers with a raw score equal to or less than P1 score/ Total number of candidates appeared in April session
- Chemistry Percentile (C1P) = 100 X Number of test-takers with a raw score equal to or less than C1 score/ Total number of candidates appeared in April session
- Mathematics Percentile (M1P) = 100 X Number of test-takers with a raw score equal to or less than M1 score/ Total number of candidates appeared in April session
JEE Main Result – Inter-Se Merit
In case of a tie between two or more candidates with same Total NTA score, inter-se merit shall be determined as per the below order:-
- NTA score in Mathematics, followed by
- NTA score in Physics, followed by
- NTA score in Chemistry, followed by
- Candidates with less negative responses, followed by
- Candidates older in age
Note- If the tie doesn’t break even after the above criteria, the same rank will be given to the candidates.
