JEE Main Rank Predictor
Convert your percentile or expected score into a realistic All India Rank — calibrated on historical NTA data, with category support and college tiers.
Percentile → rank → college, at a glance.
Historical conversion pattern for the General category, based on a ~12 lakh candidate pool.
| Percentile | Expected AIR (General) | Likely colleges |
|---|---|---|
| 99.9+ | ~1,200 or better | Top IIT branches (via JEE Advanced) |
| 99.5 – 99.9 | 6,000 – 1,200 | Top NITs, IIIT Hyderabad |
| 99.0 – 99.5 | 12,000 – 6,000 | Mid-tier NITs, BITS via BITSAT |
| 98.0 – 99.0 | 25,000 – 12,000 | Lower NITs, IIITs |
| 95.0 – 98.0 | 60,000 – 25,000 | GFTIs, state government colleges |
| 90.0 – 95.0 | 1,20,000 – 60,000 | Private universities, state tech colleges |
| 80.0 – 90.0 | 2,50,000 – 1,20,000 | Tier-2 private engineering colleges |
🧮 How the predictor works
A weighted estimate built from historical NTA data, the ~12 lakh annual candidate pool, and category-wise rank lists.
- Score mode maps marks to a percentile band from past-session data first.
- Each category has its own AIR — the factor reflects pool size.
- Best-of-two sessions usually nudges your percentile up slightly.
🧭 What to do at each tier
Predictor questions, answered.
It uses percentile-to-rank data from recent JEE Main sessions. For most students the estimate lands within roughly ±15% of the actual rank — the final number depends on that year's pool size and paper difficulty.
No — Advanced uses raw marks with a much smaller pool (~2.5 lakh) and different normalisation. This tool is for JEE Main only.
Percentile is the share of candidates who scored below you (0–100). Rank is your absolute position. A 99.5 percentile means you beat 99.5% of candidates — roughly top 6,000 in a 12 lakh pool.
Each category has a separate AIR list. The same percentile gives a much better category rank in a smaller pool — the predictor applies a pool-size factor automatically.
NTA counts your best session, so enter the higher percentile or score. If you attempted only one session, pick that option.
IIT seats come via JEE Advanced. Your Main rank decides eligibility — the top ~2.5 lakh Main qualifiers across categories can sit for Advanced — but not the IIT seat itself.
