How is it that students have got better ranks in JEE Mains 2021 than what they had expected? Like in 2020, a student got AIR as 340000 (approx) for 72 percentile but this year, for same percentile, the student has got AIR as 250000 (approx). How come there is a major change in percentile vs rank.

Hi,

The Rank is based on percentile. Percentile depends on Number of students appearing in Exam. For this year, the total number of students appearing is lower than previous year. Due to this, a person has got better rank at same percentile than previous year.

I hope this will solve your query.

Thanks!!!

Does that mean that this year it will be easy to get seat in any NIT?

Kashif Haneef Hi,
No, This doesn't mean that admissions in NIT would be easy. The closing rank for NITs depends on no. Of seats and students applying to that NIT. This year the closing rank is expected to be remain similar like previous year.
Thanks!!!
