What is NTA Score in JEE Result 2026 Session 2?
NTA score refers to the normalized percentile score of a student in a particular examination shift.

Your rank will depend on percentile scores, not raw scores
How All India Rank (AIR) is Calculated
The NTA follows a structured process to calculate AIR:
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| 1 | Convert raw marks into percentile score |
| 2 | Consider best percentile from both sessions |
| 3 | Prepare final merit list |
| 4 | Assign All India Rank (AIR) |
- Percentiles are calculated up to multiple decimal places to reduce ties
- Higher percentile = better rank
