How much marks one should secure to score 98.5-99 percentile in JEE Main?

Hello,

It will be difficult to say exact figure for 99 Percentile score as Percentile score only tells about remarela performance of the candidates in their respective session.You can take rough idea about rank under general quota using this formula:{100-percentile score}×874469/100.

This gives you probable rank in general quota.Score in percentile 99 may be different for different session as it depends upon performance of candidates in their session.It may be around 240-250 for particular session or may be 230-240 for other session.I hope this answers will be helpful to you.

As per previous year trends and considering the current increase in number of Test Sessions to 4 in JEE Mains 2021, enabling an opportunity for betterment in performance with subsequent phases, I would suggest you to target securing atleast 60% of the Total score, i.e. 180/300 if you are aiming anywhere around 99 percentile in JEE Main 2021. I always believe aceing JEE Main is more of strategy than hardwork. You need strategy in selection of study preparation material, a proper test taking strategy as well as a strategic time table for regular preparation.
