JEE Main 2026 Expected Marks vs Percentile (Session 2)

Aspirants, pichle saalo ke trends aur is baar ke difficulty level ko dhyan me rakhte huye, niche ek tentative Marks vs Percentile chart diya gaya hai. Dhyan rakhein ki final percentile normalization ke baad badal sakti hai:

Expected Percentile Expected Marks Range (Out of 300)
99.5+ Percentile 215 - 240+
99 Percentile 180 - 210
95 Percentile 140 - 160
90 Percentile 110 - 120
85 Percentile 95 - 105

Important Analysis: Ye data shift ki difficulty par depend karta hai. Agar aapki shift Hard thi, toh kam marks par bhi acchi percentile ban sakti hai. Whi Easy shift me cutoff high jaane ke chances hote hain. NTA final result me normalization process ka use karke sabhi shifts ko balance karega.
