Expected rank ≈ (100 − percentile) × total candidates ÷ 100. For example, 99 percentile with 12 lakh candidates gives about rank 12,000. Enter your percentile below.

What your percentile means
A percentile is not a percentage of marks. 97 percentile means you scored at or above 97% of the candidates in your session — out of 12 lakh, about 36,000 candidates scored above you. JEE Main percentiles are computed per session and then merged, and your best session score counts.
FAQs
How is JEE Main rank calculated from percentile?
Rank ≈ (100 − your percentile) × number of candidates ÷ 100, rounded. NTA publishes the final CRL after both sessions.
Is this my category rank?
No, it estimates the Common Rank List (CRL) rank. Category ranks are much lower than CRL ranks.
How do I calculate my JEE Main marks?
