Hi

It's quite difficult to make prediction as marks vs percentile keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like

• number of students that appeared in the exam,

• kind of marks obtained by them ,

• toughness level of the examination for different shifts of the exam etc.

but yes ,  for 97 percentile you must target around at least  150 marks .

For example,

With 150 marks,

• your percentile will be around 97.56 - 98.62     percentile as per our predictor at

And with 97 percentile, your rank will be around 30690 - 34500 and obc rank will be around 8k-9k

With your rank , you have chances in following  which are listed below along with their closing rank in 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 under other state -
