The score card of Joint Entrance Examination - Main 2024 (JEE Main 2024) has been released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) at around 3 am today. Many students appearing in the JEE Main Session 1 exam 2024 have claimed that there is a huge difference in the JEE Main marks vs percentage predictions and some have called it an "NTA blunder".

JEE Mains Result 2024 was scheduled to be declared on February 12. NTA released the JEE final answer key in the afternoon, but the score cards were not released. A large number of students including X took to social media platforms requesting clarification from NTA on JEE Main result timing. Students also created a flood of memes on NTA's delay in announcing JEE Main result 2024.

JEE Main Session 1 Score Card 2024 was made available on the official website jeemain.ntaonline.in at around 3 am. After this students started posting their JEE Main 2024 scores and percentile on social media.

NTA has adopted a normalization method to calculate JEE Main 2024 scores as it conducts the exam in multiple shifts and sessions. This method was introduced to ensure that candidates are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged due to the difference in difficulty level in each shift. A total of 12,25,529 appeared in both JEE Mains Paper 1 and 2, out of which 11,70,036 appeared in BE, B.Tech.

“NTA has made a mistake in the results. On 27th January my friend shift 1 at 85% ile 118 points. I got 92% marks on 144. I mean such a big change is impossible in a year,” one student posted on X.

How to Calculate JEE Main 2024 Percentage?

NTA JEE Main percentile scores are based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the exam. The marks obtained for examinees for each session are converted into a scale from 100 to 0.

The formula to calculate JEE Main 2024 percentile is (100 x number of candidates who appeared in the session with raw score equal to or less than that of the candidate) / total number of candidates who appeared in that session.

“The percentage score of all lowest raw marks will depend on the total number of candidates who have appeared for the examination for their respective sessions,” NTA said.

Error in JEE Main Percentile Calculation

“JEE Main 2024 – There is a huge difference in all “Marks to Percentile” predictions. Any error in calculations again #NTA?” Another student asked.

“What is this percentile after all? There are 500 students in between for a difference of 3 marks. It seems that this time there has been a huge impact on normalization. Even 260 is not giving 99.9. This was very unexpected,” tweeted a student who attended Session 1.

"Re-check percentile for G Mains 27th Shift 1, Shift 2 and 29th Shift 1. This is unfair to the hardworking students who scored above 200, yet Couldn't get 99% marks."

“Two of my friends scored 140 marks. 27 Shift 1: 90%, 1 February Shift 1: 98%. Why such a difference?” Another student asked.
