JEE Main 2026 Minimum Correct Attempts for 95 to 99 Percentile: The Joint Entrance Examination for session 1 is starting from January 21 onwards at designated test centres. A common dilemma students often face is regarding total attempts and their equivalent percentile. JEE result is declared in the form of a percentile score and not a raw score due to the normalisation process. For securing a competitive percentile of 95+ to 98+, students need to aim for at least 40+ correct attempts.

The correct attempts and percentile vary based on certain factors, including paper difficulty level and the candidate’s performance. However, to secure an IIT seat, obtaining 180+ marks is essential, which requires students to make 40+ correct attempts.
