99.91+ Percentile in JEE Main 2026 Expected Marks & Rank

When discussing percentiles above 99 in JEE Mains, it is important to remember that percentile does not equal marks directly. Two students with the same percentile may have different raw scores depending on the difficulty of their shift. That is why expected marks are always shown separately for easy, medium, and tough papers. The table below shows the marks and ranks around the 99.91+ percentile range:

Percentile	Expected Marks for Easy Paper	Expected Marks for Medium	Expected Marks for Tough	Expected Rank
99.92 percentile	247.3+	236.1+	221.4+	≲ 1,200
99.91 percentile	246.9+	235.6+	220.2+	≲ 1,350

Is 99.91 percentile good in JEE Mains?

Yes, 99.91 percentile in JEE Main is an excellent score and is considered very good for admissions through JEE Main.

A percentile of 99.91 means the candidate has scored better than 99.91% of all students who appeared in that session. In simple terms, only about 0.09% of candidates have scored the same or higher.

For JEE Main, 99.91 percentile in JEE Mains rank generally falls in the range of 800 to 1200, depending on the total number of candidates and overall paper difficulty. This rank is strong enough to secure admission in most NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, including popular branches like Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, and Mechanical, subject to category and home-state quota.

Although IIT admissions are based on JEE Advanced , a 99.91 percentile in JEE Main strongly indicates that the student is well-prepared and has a very good chance of performing well in JEE Advanced as well.
