# How to calculate rank for JEE Mains 2019

National Testing Agency has announced the results today for JEE mains 2019 January attempt. A lot of students are curious about the ranks and percentile calculation based on the normalized score provided by NTA.

Percentile scores will be used by NTA to rank students, which will further depend on the number of students appeared for the exam.

As per our expertise and understanding, we have analyzed how the rank will be calculated by NTA. Below is the formula for calculation of your rank for JEE mains 2019:

Let’s take an example here:

Suppose your total Percentile is 90.70

Your Rank will be ( 100-90.70 ) X 874469/100, which is 81325.

Now if the candidates increase to 1400000 in April, your rank will be (100 - 90.70) x 1400000/100, which is 1,30,200.
