Low Rank in JEE Main? These Alternate Options Might Help You
Last updated on September 16th, 2020 at 12:34 pm
JEE Main is an All India competitive examination conducted by NTA for admissions to various undergraduate engineering and architecture colleges. These mainly constitute-
- Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs),
- Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) and
- National Institutes of Technology (NITs)
While to get into an IIT, one must qualify JEE Main first and then JEE Advanced. Only the top 2.5 lac rankers of JEE Main are qualified for JEE Advanced. Low Rank in JEE Main is often demotivating for students. Very few students are hopeful of a suitable college at low ranks.
- Due to the popularity of engineering and architecture degrees among Indian masses, the level of competition and difficulty of JEE Main is extremely high, imposing high pressure on the aspirants.
- To increase the chances of scoring a better percentile rank and reputed college, most candidates choose to appear for both JEE Main January Session and JEE Main April Session.
- The students have a limit of appearing for JEE Main only thrice in successive years.
- Given the limited options for students, we shall discuss on the alternatives in case you score a low rank in JEE Main.
- Here we will discuss 6 various options which might motivate students even in case of a low rank.
For starters, JEE Main exam is for three hours and includes three papers:
Paper 1: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics – for B.E./BTech courses

Low JEE Main Score/Rank? Evaluating These Options Might Help
Last updated on September 16th, 2020 at 01:34 pm
“The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart”
This proverb holds true in different practical aspects of life as well. There might be a lot of students who prepared diligently throughout the entire year or maybe for even two years but still could not get good rank due to some unfortunate reasons.For them, it is important not to lose hope at this point of time or get disheartened even if this was their second attempt. Now is the time to be vigilant and apply a new strategy of analyzing and improvising which might not help them to make it to IITs but will definitely help them seek admission in good reputed colleges such as NITs, IIITs, GITFs, etc.
If the student could not secure a good JEE Main Score, there might be a problem either with their preparation or the execution. Hence, the first step is to analyze where the void is. For example,
- There might be students who were not completely prepared for the exam and left some of the important topics which unfortunately came in the exam. Therefore, there was a lag in preparation.
- There might be a student who could not perform well because he got anxious during the exam and committed silly errors which resulted in a drop in rank. This is an example of a problem in the execution.
So, it is better for them to analyze what went wrong and how they can work on it. Now, there are three options which you can choose from:
- Prepare for the next attempt and drop this year
- Settle with the college that you can get with your JEE Main score
- Wait for successive counselling sessions
Let us dive deep into each option and students can make a wise decision if you secure a low JEE Main score.
1. Prepare for the Next Attempt and drop this year
This is an alternative which you can choose if you have appeared for the first attempt with the board exams. This will help in learning and studying more for JEE Main and keeping your focus only on this exam.
- Taking a one-year drop will give you an added advantage since you would have already experienced the exam once and also your preparation would just need more focus and brush-up.
- Complete dedication and determination of study will sail you through the JEE Main exam.
OR
- From 2019, JEE Main is conducted twice a year.
- Candidates have an option to not drop a year and prepare for the second attempt if they are not satisfied with the result of the first attempt.
- So candidates have a chance to appear twice in a year. If a candidate secures a low JEE Main score in the first attempt, then he/she can appear for the second attempt.
However, if you are taking a drop for your third attempt, it can be risky and you need to make a wise and calculated step. You should be confident about this decision and be aware of the shortcomings of your preparation and the reasons not to score well in the past attempts. If one is confident about the preparation and knows that dedicating one year will help them to get over these shortcomings, then one can take this decision to drop another year. But if the students have doubts over their preparation and are not sure, then they can choose the other options which we will discuss further.

2. Settle with the college that you can get with your JEE Main score
It is pretty obvious that every student who is preparing for JEE Main exam dreams of getting into the top IITs or NITs. However, with the limited number of seats in these colleges, it is practically impossible for every student to get admission in these colleges.
- Further, there are more than 4500 engineering colleges throughout India. There are ample opportunities for students since these colleges also have skilled faculties and good resources.
- The other private and state universities offer B.E or B.Tech courses and have a wide range of courses and specializations to choose from.
- The basic concepts of teaching and the engineering essence would remain almost the same in every college.
- The students who are getting other private universities and colleges should not hesitate to opt for these.
- To have a better picture, they can contact the students from various colleges and get to know about the quality of education in these colleges.
- They can also visit websites and placement reports to get a fair idea about the college they are opting for.
- Checking if their alumni are holding good positions in the industry can also be a parameter to judge the college.
All these factors will help in deciding the college in which you wish to spend your next crucial four years. Hence, the students are advised to broaden their perspective and look beyond IITs and NITs too if they have already attempted JEE Main twice.
3. Wait for Successive Counselling Sessions
There is also a good probability that you might get a good college in the subsequent JEE Main counselling rounds.
- A lot of students drop or change colleges, which helps the other students to get a chance.
- A lot of students are not sure about the result of the successive counselling and they end up making decisions in haste due to delayed counselling sessions.
- It is important to first analyse the complete situation and decide after considering each aspect.
- There are cases where students got into very good universities during mop-up counselling rounds.
Hence, one should wait and appear in each counselling session in which they are eligible to attend. This is also a great option to get a private college which is in the range of your marks. The placements and education quality of some renowned colleges are up to the mark with IITs. Therefore, keep calm and choose wisely.

Top 20 Percentile Cut-off for Class 12 Examinations
Last updated on October 17th, 2020 at 06:21 pm
JEE Main 2020 is underway with the announcement of the final schedule of the exam. The whole COVID-19 crisis and lockdown have had a deep impact on the mental health of students. While many feel happy about the delay, others feel worried about the impact it will have on future studies. Parents are also worried about the finances required for the tuition of their kids.
| JEE Advanced 2020 | JEE Main 2020 Result |
| JEE Main Participating Colleges | JEE Main 2020 Counselling |
Latest: The top 20 percentile criteria has been scrapped for both JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Students can take admission to their desired college on the basis of a 12th passing certificate and respective exam scores.
- JoSAA Counselling 2020 has started for admission to NITs, IITs and other top engineering colleges of India based on JEE Main or Advanced Ranks.
- While talking about the eligibility of JEE Main or JEE Advanced, it is clear that NTA (or IIT) doesn’t give weightage to class 12th marks in JEE Main Score Card.
- Yet, teachers and parents force students to ensure a good percentage in class 12th boards.
- This is because of the rule of top 20 percentile for JEE Main introduced way back for JEE Main Counselling. Let us discuss exactly what does top 20 percentile for JEE Main 2020 means.

What Is The Top 20 Percentile For JEE Main?
Each year more than 9 lakh students appear for IIT-JEE or JEE Main and Advanced. The purpose is simple – admission in India’s Top Engineering Institutes. The marks secured in Class 12th are no longer considered for JEE Main Rank calculation by NTA.
- Yet, it is a determining factor for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. This is because of a hidden rule that these colleges follow.
- Top 20 Percentile for JEE Main is nothing but the top 20 percent of the students of each board.
Given below is the cutoff for CBSE and ICSE, which might not reflect in your JEE Main Score Card, but is still required by top colleges-
Top 20 Percentile Cutoff for CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) –
| Year | GEN | OBC-NCL | SC | ST | PwD |
| 2018 | 432 | 424 | 410 | 390 | 390 |
| 2017 | 431 | 420 | 400 | 385 | 385 |
| 2016 | 430 | 414 | 395 | 376 | 376 |
Top 20 Percentile Cutoff for ICSE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination) –
| Year | GEN | OBC-NCL | SC | ST | PwD |
| 2018 | 438 | 427 | 415 | 387 | 387 |
| 2017 | 427 | 408 | 391 | 366 | 366 |
| 2016 | 443 | 427 | 412 | 388 | 388 |
The total marks scored by a student in the 12th boards or equivalent should make him/her fall in the top 20 percent of the scorers.
- However, not all the education boards release marks in the form of rank or percentage. So, it is not possible to determine the top 20 percent scorers of that particular board.
- Therefore, the organizing authority will also consider candidates not falling in the top 20 percentile while determining their eligibility.
JoSAA publishes the list of top 20 percentile cut off for JEE Main of each board on their official website. It releases the top 20 percentile cutoff marks after results of class 12th exams of participating boards. Hence, board exams have an important value because candidates need to be in the top 20 percentile cutoff scores.
The JEE Main cut off marks is released separately for IITs and other institutes (NITs, IIITs and CFTIs) on the official site, josaa.nic.in. Although the top 20 percentile is released after the result declaration, candidates must be aware of the previous year trends.

What is the Eligibility Criteria?
Students who wish to qualify for the IITs based on the JEE Advanced Eligibility Criteria, need to meet any one of the following two requirements–
- Either, candidates need to score at least 75% marks (for general category candidates) in your class XII board exams. The required percentage for SC/ST/PwD candidates is 65% in this case.
- Or, candidates must be in the top 20 percent scorers in the class XII board exams in either General or SC/ST/PwD categories.
This raises a simple question. What are the minimum marks a candidate needs to score in class XII board exams? Can that qualify as eligibility to get admission into the IITs? This article discusses these questions in detail.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) is in charge of the seat allocation to government-funded technical institutes. JoSAA also releases the top 20 percentile cut-off list of all the state boards for the class 12 exams of each year. Do note that this cutoff is altogether different from JEE Main Cutoff.
The data of Top 20 Percentile Cutoff for 2018, 2017 and 2016 is provided in this article below.
How to Calculate Top 20 Percentile Cutoff?
Before getting in the state-wise cutoff of class XII board marks, it is important to understand how the Top 20 Percentile for JEE Main is calculated by JoSAA. Given below are the points over the calculation–
- First, to calculate the top 20 percentile for different board exams of class 12th, we consider total marks. The marks of 5 subjects for top 20 percentile are taken – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Language, Additional subject – in aggregate.
- JoSAA conducts separate calculation for each board’s cutoff. This means that a student of CBSE and a student of the state board are considered separately.
- Also, if a student has appeared in more than 1 language paper, the language paper with higher marks will be taken into consideration.
- Similarly, if a student has studied more than the 5 subjects mentioned above, the score of the top 5 subjects is considered.
- If the marks in a subject are not out of 100, then the total marks for that subject will be proportionately calculated out of 100. So that the total aggregate marks totals to 500.
- Let’s say a student appears in the class XII boards of 2019 and passes the exam. But reappears in a few subjects for the class XII board exams held in 2020. Then, the top 20 percentile for JEE Main 2019 will be taken into account.
- If a student reappears in the next year for all the exams of class XII boards, then the better of two is taken into consideration.
- Hence, if reappearing for the boards the next year, with the aim of improving their marks. They should appear in all the five papers instead of just a few.

Calculation of Class 12th Marks for Admission to IITs
The score will be calculated as follows-
- Marks of an applicant will be considered for any 5 subjects for top 20 percentile for JEE Main. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are compulsory subjects.
- Out of these 5 subjects, one language subject will be considered.
- If a candidate has 2 language subjects, a subject with a higher score will be considered for the top 20 percentile cut off.
- Further, if marks in any subject are not awarded out of 100, then such score will be scaled to make it out of 100. For example, if a candidate has scored 60 out of 80, his/her marks will be taken as – (60/80)*100 = 75
- If a candidate appeared for Class 12 exam in the previous year and reappears for any one or two subjects in the current year, then previous year’s marks will be considered
- If a candidate appeared for Class 12 exam in the previous year but reappears for all 5 exams in the current year, then the higher score out of both will get considered.
Difference Between Percentage and Percentile
Often candidates get obscured of the difference between a percentage score and percentile. However, both terms are completely different from one another.
- A percentage score is marks obtained by a candidate from the aggregate of 100.
- On the other hand, a percentile is a term used to define the percentage a candidate secures below particular marks.
Example – Suppose a candidate has secured 85 percent marks. This is the marks secured out of 100, wherein he/she has scored 85. If the total is 200, it will be 170 and so on.
However, if a candidate mentions he/she has scored 85 percentile, that would mean 85 percent of all other candidates who have appeared for the examination have scored fewer marks than the candidate with 85 percentile.

How to calculate JEE Main 2020 Result?
The JEE Main Result 2020 is calculated in the form of a percentile NTA score for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and a combined score. The NTA scores are obtained by normalization. This is done using the raw score gained by the candidates. The following formula is used to obtain the NTA score-
The NTA scores of candidates in JEE Main exam will be used to compute the ranks. The AIR is affected directly by the scores obtained in Joint Entrance Exam i.e. higher the scores, better the rank in JEE Main. In case, two or more candidates score equal marks, then the tie-breaking rule or inter-se-merit will be applicable.
Is the Percentile Score and NTA Score the same?
Yes, Percentile score and NTA score of JEE Main Result 2020 are the same things. Although, there is a slight difference in the calculation which gives the chance of scoring a full 100 NTA score to candidates. The percentile score is an easier form of representing the rank of a candidate appearing for the examination. The Normalized NTA score is usually calculated after representing the scores on a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session. JEE Main Result 2020 has-
- Firstly, NTA Score for Subject 1
- Secondly, NTA Score for Subject 2
- NTA Score for Subject 3
- Lastly, total NTA Score
According to the official website of NTA or Information Bulletin published by NTA, “The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore, the topper (highest score) of each session gets the same Percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles.”
How is the JEE Main Result 2020 compiled from two sessions?
As given above, NTA scores of all 3 subjects and the total NTA Score are given in the JEE Main 2020 Result Scorecard. For candidates attempting both, January and April session of JEE Main 2020, scores will be merged. This does not mean that the score will be added all together.
- A comparison will be made in NTA scores of each subject.
- Then, the final NTA score will be considered from the attempt with two or more greater NTA scores compared to the other attempt (best of two).
- Furthermore, final NTA Score will be based on the attempt considered as above.
- Lastly, this NTA score will also be used for Merit Lists/Rankings.
Normalization Procedure for JEE Main 2020 Result
Various sets of JEE Main 2020 papers are designed for each shift. To maintain equivalence of scores, no two shifts have the same question repeating. However, the difficulty level of these papers from various sessions might not remain the same. Thus, a few candidates may ultimately attempt a relatively tougher set of questions when compared to other sets.
The candidates who attempt the comparatively difficult examination are likely to get lower marks as compared to those who attempt the easier one. To overcome such a situation, “Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score” will be used. This is to ensure that candidates are neither at a benefit or a disadvantage because of the various difficulty levels of the examination. Thus, To bring asymmetry over the difficulty scale with context to the issues mentioned above, the Normalization Procedure will be used for JEE Main 2020.
How do top scorers benefit from Normalization Procedure?
The Percentile Score and NTA Score of a candidate is the same. But it might still be unclear how two candidates – one scoring 332 marks in a particular shift, while other scoring 346 marks in another shift – would have a full 100 NTA Score. Given below is an example of the same-
Suppose the examination was held on two days in two shifts. This will be calculated as 4 sessions.
Now, in all these sessions, the highest raw scorer will always have the highest NTA Score i.e. 100. Consequntly, 100% of candidates in that particular session have a score equal to or less than the highest scorer/topper for the particular session. Given below is a table for calculation of NTA scores (percentile) of toppers.
This shows that all the highest raw scores would be normalized to 100 Percentile Score for their respective session in JEE Main 2020 using the Normalization Procedure.
Tie-Breaking Rule for JEE Main 2020 Result
Tie-breaker rule is nothing but the criteria on which the candidate for higher rank will be selected if there is a tie or equivalence between marks of two candidates. Usually, this does not affect the rank or percentile of a candidate by huge degree. Given below are the rules for various Papers of JEE Main 2020.
JEE Main Paper 1 (B.Tech/B.E)
The NTA score of the following subjects are considered –
- Mathematics: Candidate who gets more percentile score in Mathematics will be ranked higher
- Physics: Candidate who gets more percentile score in Physics will be ranked higher
- Chemistry: Candidate who gets more percentile score in Chemistry will be ranked higher
- Date of Birth: The older candidate between the two will be ranked higher
Note: In case the tie still remains undetermined, the same rank is given to both the candidates.
JEE Main 2020 Paper 2 (B.Arch)
Let us see how the NTA scores in the following subjects are considered –
- Mathematics: Candidate who scores higher marks in maths section will be given a higher rank
- Aptitude Test: Candidate with a higher score in the aptitude test will be allotted a higher rank
- Drawing Test: Candidate with higher scores in the drawing test will be allotted a higher rank
- Less negative response: Candidates having lesser number of negative responses in the paper will be given a higher rank
- Date of Birth: The older candidate will be ranked higher between the two
JEE Main 2020 Paper 3 (B.Planning)
Let us see how the NTA scores in the following subjects are considered:
- Mathematics: Candidate who obtains higher marks in Mathematics section will be given a higher rank
- Aptitude Test: If the tie remains, the candidate with a higher score in aptitude section will be given a higher rank
- Planning Based Questions: If all rules above do not break the tie, then the candidate with higher marks in planning based questions will be given the higher rank
- Less negative response: Candidate having less number of negative responses in the paper will be ranked higher
- Date of Birth: The older candidate will be ranked higher between the two

What factors change the JEE Main Cutoff?
A large number of factors might be responsible for a change in JEE Main Cut off. Joint Seat Allocation Board has announced that class 12th marks will not be given weightage for calculating AIRs in JEE Main 2020 Exam. Although colleges might weigh the same under their admission criteria. On the other hand, major IITs do not take candidates below the minimum aggregate of around 90% in 12th boards due to high competition for seats in top courses of top IITs. The following factors play a vital role in determining the JEE Main Cutoff every year-
- Total number of candidates appeared for the exam
- Level of difficulty of the exam
- Number of available seats
- Overall performance of the candidate
