Count your correct and incorrect answers against the answer key. This applies the current JEE Main (Paper 1) marking — +4 correct, −1incorrect (now including Section B numericals), 0 unattempted — for your marks out of 300.
JEE Main reports a normalized percentile, not raw marks — this tool gives your marks out of 300, not a percentile or rank. How marking and percentile work: JEE Main exam pattern & marking.
Marks = (4 × correct) − (1 × incorrect), out of 300. JEE Main Paper 1 has 75 questions — 25 each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics — worth 4 marks each. Under the current NTA scheme the −1 penalty applies to Section B numericals as well as MCQs; unattempted questions score 0.
You answer 52 correctly, 14 incorrectly and skip 9: (52 × 4) − (14 × 1) = 208 − 14 = 194 / 300.
Yes, under the current NTA scheme incorrect numerical answers also cost −1. This changed from earlier years, so confirm against the current session’s Information Bulletin.
JEE Main runs in multiple sessions with different papers, so raw marks are normalized into an NTA percentile score to compare candidates fairly across sessions.
The better of your two NTA scores is used for ranking. This calculator gives per-attempt raw marks.
No. Rank depends on that year’s candidate pool and normalization; cut-offs vary by year and category.
