As per the schedule, the NTA announced to declare the JEE Mains session 1 January results on February 12.
The testing agency conducted JEE Main exams in two sessions per day. The NTA uses a normalisation method as JEE Main question paper in different shifts may not have the same difficulty level. Therefore, the “Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score” is used to calculate JEE Main scores based on the relative performance of all the candidates who appeared for the examination.
“The process of normalization is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multi-session papers and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational selection tests conducted in India,” as per the official JEE Mains 2025 information bulletin.
JEE Mains 2025: What are percentile scores?
The score based on the relative performance of the candidates who appeared for the JEE Mains exam is called the percentile score . The obtained marks are measured into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session and it shows the percentage of candidates that have obtained “equal to or below (same or lower raw scores) that particular percentile in that examination.”
The JEE Main 2025 scores or percentile for each subject such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics is calculated using the normalisation formula as given below.
|
Total Percentile (T1P) |
(100 x No. of candidates from the session with a raw score equal to or less than T1 score) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
|
Mathematics Percentile (M1P) |
(100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than than M1 score in Mathematics) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
|
Chemistry Percentile (C1P): |
(100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than C1 score in Chemistry) / Total No. of candidates who 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 who appeared in the session |
