The marks and percentile depends on the difficulty of the paper that we cannot predict. But with the score of 40 the percentile may be very less due to high competition. But keep checking and trying for other exams too. Choose good with a hope.
Good luck!!

The last year cutoff of JEE main for obc category was some around 70-75 so you can expect a higher one this year. This year ,in the current scenario of COVID-19, the admissions are based on the marks of entrance exams and the marks of the 12th/equivalent are not considered. So the results will be unpredictable. But don't over think about it , you have wide range of opportunities. All the best.

Dear candidate

Generally the qualifying mark of JEE MAINS for OBC category candidates will be atleast 45 because last year in 2019 it is 74.3 and in 2018 it is 45, in 2017 it is 49, in 2015 and 2016 it is 70 and in 2014 it is 74 even in the worst case scenario it will be more than 45 so, sorry to say that you wont be qualifying JEE MAINS so, if you don't qualify JEE MAINS then you wont be eligible to apply for JEE ADVANCED but if the actual cutoff of 2020 is less than 40 then only you will be able to qualify JEE MAINS and even in that you may not be eligible to apply for JEE ADVANCED because your rank will be more than 2.5 lack and for applying JEE ADVANCED you should be among the top 2.5 rankers in JEE Mains.
