IS NTA going to give percentile this time instead of marks? How is that going to affect the rank?

Hello Salkhien. Here's how the new percentile procedure of ranking in JEE Main will work:

  • JEE Main 2019 exam will be held in different sessions. Each session will have its own NTA percentile score with the highest scorer (s) as 100 percentile.
  • A master NTA score will be prepared where all the sessions will be put together for a final ranking.
  • The candidate on the top in the final ranking will be the 100 percentile.
  • In case of a tie between 100 percentile scorers or any other percentile rank, the merit will be decided on the basis of the highest percentile in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in that order.
  • If there is a further tie, the person older in age will be ranked higher. The same method will be applied for JEE Main 2019 Paper 2 exam for BArch admissions as well.
  • NTA will announce a final merit list after JEE Main Paper 2 exam.
  • For aspirants who appear for both the exams (January and April), the better percentile will be counted in the merit list.

Note: To avoid a bunching effect and reduce tied scores, the percentile scores will be calcuated up to seven decimals.Under the new exam format introduced by NTA, the exam will be held over a period of 14 days in each cycle with multiple sessions each day. The idea is to reduce the chances of cheating and malpractices.
