Subject Expert Percentile Prediction for 118 Marks in JEE Main 2026 Session 1: If the candidates are curious to know the expected percentile for 118 marks, then they are on the right page. Based on the previous years’ trends, it is assumed that the expected percentile for 118 marks might be varied between 92.9+ and 97.08+. For better understanding, the CollegeDekho subject matter expert, Kurra Srinivas, has provided insight regarding the percentile prediction for 118 marks. Note that this is nothing but the expected analysis of percentile vs rank; the actual percentile for 118 marks might be varied since the same will depend on certain determinants, such as the difficulty level of the paper, the number of test takers who appeared for the exam, etc. For better understanding, the candidates are advised to stay connected with this article. 

The JEE Main 2026 exam conducted on January 22 had two shifts with noticeable differences in difficulty level. Because percentile in JEE Main is calculated using normalization, it becomes important to look at shift-wise marks vs percentile trends rather than raw marks alone. Based on early expert analysis and student feedback, the JEE Main 2026 Jan 22 marks vs percentile pattern shows that Shift 1 and Shift 2 followed different scoring trends.

99.97+ percentile in JEE Mains translates to an expected score ranging from 227.6 - 249.2+, depending on the exam difficulty level. Furthermore, the predicted AIR for such a score can be somewhere around 450. A 99.97th percentile in JEE Mains is considered an exceptional performance, placing the candidates in the top 0.03% of the exam takers. Scoring such a percentile raises chances for the candidates to land in excellent branches like CSE in top NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Furthermore, even for candidates aiming for state colleges, this score will work in their favour, as it increases their chances of securing admission to more prestigious state institutions.
