Expected AIR for 330 Marks in JEE Advanced 2026
Based on JEE Advanced 2024 data, a score of 330 marks in the General category maps to an expected AIR of 100–200. The 2024 JEE Advanced topper scored 355 marks, and the competition at the top end is extremely tight. The score-to-rank table below shows the full mapping based on 2024 trends — actual 2026 ranks will depend on the paper difficulty and topper scores that year.
| Score Range (out of 360) | Expected AIR — General Category (Based on 2024 Trends) |
|---|---|
| 350–360 | 1–20 |
| 340–349 | 21–70 |
| 330–339 | 71–200 |
| 320–329 | 201–400 |
| 310–319 | 401–700 |
| 300–309 | 701–1,200 |
| 280–299 | 1,201–2,500 |
330 marks in JEE Advanced 2026 is expected to yield an AIR of approximately 100–200 in the General category. If the 2026 paper is easier than 2024, scores at the top end will be higher and ranks in this band may shift downward. A harder paper would improve your expected rank at 330 marks.
Category-wise Rank Prediction for 330 Marks
JEE Advanced assigns ranks separately within each reserved category. Students from OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and EWS categories scoring 330 marks will receive significantly better category ranks than their CRL. The table below shows expected category rank estimates based on 2024 closing data.
| Category | Expected CRL (AIR) | Expected Category Rank |
|---|---|---|
| General (CRL) | 100–200 | 100–200 |
| OBC-NCL | 100–200 | 30–60 |
| SC | 100–200 | 10–25 |
| ST | 100–200 | 5–12 |
| EWS | 100–200 | 15–35 |
Your category rank, not just your CRL, determines your seat during JoSAA counselling. SC and ST students scoring 330 marks carry near-certain prospects for the most sought-after IIT branches, including IIT Bombay CSE which closed at CRL 65 in 2024. All estimates above are based on 2024 trends.

How JEE Advanced 2026 Rank is Calculated
JEE Advanced rank is based entirely on aggregate marks in Paper 1 and Paper 2 combined. There is no normalisation or percentile calculation — your raw total directly determines your rank. Key points on how ranking works:
- Paper 1 and Paper 2 each carry 180 marks; the combined total is 360 marks.
- If two students score the same aggregate, the one with higher marks in Mathematics gets the better rank.
- If the tie persists, higher marks in Physics is the next tiebreaker.
- A further tie is resolved by age — the older student gets the higher rank.
- Ranks are assigned only to students who meet the minimum percentage criteria in each subject and in aggregate set by the conducting IIT.
JEE Advanced 2026 results are expected on July 22, 2026, as per the official schedule at jeeadv.ac.in. The rank card and scorecard will be available for download after the result is announced, and JoSAA counselling rounds will begin shortly after.
