Decoding the JEE Main 2025 Scorecard
The scorecard issued by NTA must be reviewed by the candidates as it contains vital information. It includes the total marks obtained which is out of 300 for paper 1, subject wise marks for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, the percentile score which indicates relative performance across sessions, and the All India Rank (AIR) which will be later declared after merging ranks of both session. It also shows whether the candidate has qualified for JEE Advanced 2025. The percentile score is computed using a normalization method designed to protect fairness for candidates appearing at different time slots or shifts. The formula used is: “Percentile = (Number of candidates scoring lower than you / Total candidates in the session) * 100”. This approach makes certain that candidates are evaluated relative to their peers in the same session.
