NTA JEE Main Result 2026 – Normalisation Process Explained

Since the JEE Main 2026 exam is conducted in multiple sessions and shifts, the difficulty level may vary across each. To ensure fairness, NTA uses a normalisation method to calculate the JEE Mains NTA score 2026.

This normalised score reflects the percentage of candidates whose raw scores were equal to or lower than the score of a particular student within the same session.

Normalisation Formula:

NTA Score = (100 × Number of candidates in the session with raw scores ≤ candidate’s score) ÷ Total number of candidates in that session

Note: The normalised NTA score is not equivalent to the actual percentage of marks obtained in the exam.

JEE Main Result 2026 – How Percentile is Calculated?

NTA calculates the JEE Mains percentile score 2026 separately for each subject — Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — as well as the overall total percentile. These percentiles are computed using the normalization process, ensuring fairness across multiple shifts and sessions.

JEE Main Result 2026 – Tie-Breaking Criteria for Merit Rank

When two or more candidates secure the same NTA score in JEE Mains 2026, NTA applies a tie-breaking policy to determine the All India Rank (AIR). The criteria differ slightly for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) and Paper 2 (B.Arch).

5. Fewer incorrect answers in Physics

6. Fewer incorrect answers in Chemistry

JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 (B.Arch) – Tie Resolution Process

For Paper 2, the following steps are followed to break ties between candidates:

1. Higher NTA score in Mathematics

2. Higher NTA score in Aptitude Test

3. Higher NTA score in Drawing Test
