Hello.
it is quite difficult task to calculate your marks from your percentile and again it is difficult to numerate your actual rank but you can calculate your approximate rank by using the below formula :
(100-your total percentile score )* total number of candidates appeared for the 'session' /100.
Total number of candidates appeared for the January 'session ': 869010.
You can suppose number of candidates appeared for the April session will increased to : 12,00000.
Now by the treatment of above formula your approximate rank at 72 percentile is : 243,322.
Now I can tell you what would be your score in JEE mains January session at 72 percentile but it will be a probable calculation which is dependent of number of candidates who got negative marks, and it may change with the fluctuation so your score would lie between: 38-47.
Best of luck.
