Hi dear,

You have scored 72.9 percentile in JEE main that means your rank should be 235501. You can also calculate your rank

Rank=(100-your percentile)×869010÷100

With this rank you have low chance to get any government college. You should reappear in april month exam and perform better.

Hope it helps.

Hey aspirant!

To be honest, it is difficult to predict the ranks currently as the April session has yet to take place. However, you can predict your expected rank by this formula:-



So,(100 - your total percentile score) is the percentage of people ahead of you. Now, 869010 were the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100


In your case the rank comes out to be around 235501. Now, to be honest at this rank getting government colleges for a general category student is very tough, however, you can try for State-level counselling and you may get a college but still you would not get any good branch out of it.

However, you should not lose hope as you still have another attempt in April mains and so work hard for it.

Hello,
Your expected rank will be around 235501.You can calculate your expected rank using the formula given below
(100-your total percentile)*869010/100
869010 is the total number of candidates appeared in January session.
So it calculated as (100-72.9)*869010/100=235501
In April session 1200000 candidates are expected to appear so your expected rank can be calculated as follows
(100-your total percentile)*1200000/100

With such rank it impossible to get seat in any college you may not even qualify JEE main.So it better if you prepare for April session and do well.
