Question 1

When is JEE Main 2027?

Accepted Answer

NTA is expected to release the JEE Main 2027 notification in the first or second week of October 2026. Based on the 2025 and 2026 cycles, JEE Main 2027 Session 1 will likely be held in the third week of January 2027, and Session 2 in the first week of April 2027. Registration typically opens with the notification.

Question 2

How accurate is this JEE Main rank predictor?

Accepted Answer

Our model uses NTA's equi-percentile normalization calibrated against 8 official anchor points from JEE Main 2025. For marks between 120–280, accuracy is within ±2 percentile points. The 95th–99th percentile range has highest variance (±3–5 percentile) due to student density. See our accuracy page for full details.

Question 3

What is a good JEE Main percentile for NIT admission?

Accepted Answer

For top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) CSE branch, you need 99.3%+ percentile (~AIR 10,000). For NIT admission in any branch, 97%+ (AIR ~50,000) is generally sufficient. Home state students get a significant advantage with state quota seats.

Question 4

What percentile is needed to qualify for JEE Advanced?

Accepted Answer

Based on the JEE 2025 and 2026 cutoffs: General ~93 percentile, OBC-NCL ~79%, EWS ~80%, SC ~61%, ST ~48%. These cutoffs vary slightly each year based on paper difficulty and candidate pool. Top 2,50,000 JEE Main qualifiers become eligible for JEE Advanced.

Question 5

How does NTA normalization work for multiple shifts?

Accepted Answer

JEE Main is conducted in multiple shifts. NTA uses equi-percentile normalization — a student scoring 180 in a tough shift may get the same percentile as a student scoring 195 in an easier shift. Our predictor accounts for shift difficulty with an adjustment of ±1.5 percentile points.

Question 6

Is this predictor free? Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer
