The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2024 is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to various undergraduate engineering and architecture courses in the participating institutes. The JEE Main 2024 Session 1 exam is scheduled to be held from January 27 to February 1, 2024, in computer-based mode.

The JEE Main 2024 result will be declared in the form of percentile scores, which indicate the relative performance of the candidates among all the test-takers. The percentile score is calculated using the normalization process, which takes into account the difficulty level of the exam across different days and shifts.

Many candidates are curious to know the expected marks for 97 percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 1, as it is considered a very good score that can open the doors to many top engineering colleges in India. However, the exact marks required for 97 percentile may vary depending on various factors, such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, the availability of seats, and the previous year trends.

Based on the previous years’ data, a comprehensive analysis can be made to predict the marks that will be required to score 97 percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session

The same is presented in the table below:

Percentile Expected Score
97+ percentile 134 to 135.5 marks
97.1+ percentile 135.5 to 137 marks
97.2+ percentile 137 to 138 marks
97.3+ percentile 138 to 139.5 marks
97.4+ percentile 139.5 to 140.5 marks
97.5+ percentile 140.5 to 142 marks
97.6+ percentile 142 to 143 marks
97.7+ percentile 143 to 144 marks
97.8+ percentile 144 to 145 marks
97.9+ percentile 145 to 147 marks

The table shows the expected score range for 97 percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 1, based on the assumption that the total marks of the exam are 300 and the difficulty level of the exam is moderate. However, these are only indicative figures and the actual marks may differ slightly.
