With JEE Main 2026 Session 2 being conducted from April 2 to 8, students across India are tracking their performance shift-wise. Since the exam is held in multiple shifts, raw scores alone do not reflect a candidate’s relative standing. Percentile scores are used to fairly compare students across shifts. Based on previous years’ data, a score of 100 marks in JEE Main typically translates to 94–96 percentile, giving students a clear idea of their chances for qualifying for JEE Advanced and admission into top engineering colleges like NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.
