Hello Aspirant,

No there is no any computation error because there are many factors that led to some variation in the expected and actual percentile so not to worry for that but yes if you are seeking 99.7+ percentile then you can definitely try for upcoming attempt of JEE-Main 2021.

Since you have not mentioned your category so considering it as General.

According to the percentile you have mentioned your CRL rank is expected to be in the range of 7000-10000 , you can check out marks Vs CRL ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-

last time in March attempt with similar difficulty level against 210 marks percentile was 99.28. With improvement of 26 marks percentile dropped?

Hi

No, there's no computational error, you got less than your expectation because

  • Your shift was not that difficult as you had assumed

  • The students in your shift performed relatively better than your expectation.


With  99.14 percentile



With above rank, you have  chances  in following NITs .

  • NIT Patna :- computer science engineering

  • NIT calicut :- Electrical and Electronics Engineering

  • Nit Nagpur :- Electrical and Electronics Engineering

And  more
