With the release of JEE Main 2019 January session result, the question that arises in JEE Main aspirants minds is how to calculate rank in JEE Main based on NTA percentile. The National Testing Agency has released the percentile score for the January session of JEE Main 2019. The ranks will be declared by NTA after considering the percentile score obtained by students in both sessions.

The rank can be calculated using JEE Main Rank Predictor. For complete details on JEE Main Rank Predictor, read the article given below.
NTA has declared that the process of normalization will be done session wise. The percentile score represents the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or less than that particular percentile score in the examination. So, the 15 toppers are those students who got the highest scores after normalization in the respective sessions. The difference between the highest and lowest scores is also converted into percentiles.
How to Calculate JEE Main 2019 Rank on the Basis of NTA Percentile Score?
To calculate JEE Main 2019 rank, candidates are first required to know the percentage of people with higher percentile score than them. To calculate the same, the formula will be 100 minus your percentile score in JEET Main 2019. As the percentile is calculated from a scale ranging between 100 and 0 for each session of applicants, the formula to calculate JEE Main rank applies to the total number of students appeared for JEE Main January session i.e. 874469/100 multiplied by the percentage of people who scored higher than you.
Therefore, the formula used to calculate the JEE Main 2019 rank for the January session is
JEE Main 2019 probable rank = (100 – NTA percentile score) X 874469/100
For example, if your NTA percentile is 90.70 then your JEE Main rank will be (100 – 90.70) X 874469/100 which is equal to 81325.
Note: The formula mentioned above is not valid for a 100 percentile score.
How to Decide Whether to Appear for JEE Main 2019 April Session or Not?
