Hi,

JEE Mains rank is based on percentile not marks. Percentile depends on various factors like Paper difficulty, No. Of students appearing in particular slot, How students performed in that slot, etc. The most obvious reason could be that your exam slot paper was easy when compared with other student of the same slot. Because so many people got higher marks than you, your percentile is lower than what you had expected.

Thanks!!!

Hello Aspirant,

See very first thing, it is impossible to have 71.2 percentile on 203 marks, so you must have calculated wrong marks using the answer key.

Now If we go through the analysis of marks Vs Percentile Vs rank for JEE-Main 2020 then according to the percentile mentioned by you in the question your rank is expected to be in the range of 294624 - 331200 .

You can check out marks Vs ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-

Or

You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank and percentile :-

Note that the rank which is predicted is only the expected rank on the basis of previous year's data so your actual rank might vary depending upon current factors.

To have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your marks, category, and state you can use JEE-Main College Predictor:-
