  • The JEE Main 2026 scorecard shows your percentile for each subject separately and the total percentile.
  • If you attended both January and April sessions, your best of the two performances will be taken to calculate your rank.

Effect of Easy Shift High raw marks (e.g., 220/300) May get slightly lower percentile because many others also scored high Your percentile might be lower than expected, even with good marks
Effect of Tough Shift Lower raw marks (e.g., 160/300) Higher percentile because fewer candidates scored that much or above Your percentile gets boosted for performing well on a difficult paper
Same Raw marks, different shifts Two students both score 180 Students in the tough shift get a higher percentile than students in the easy shift Same marks → different NTA scores & different CRL
Final Score on Scorecard Not shown (raw marks are never displayed) NTA Score (Total + subject-wise percentiles) Scorecard shows only the normalised percentile

What is CRL in the JEE Main 2026 Scorecard?
