99.91+ Percentile in JEE Main 2026 Expected Marks & Rank

When discussing percentiles above 99 in JEE Mains, it is important to remember that percentile does not equal marks directly.

Percentile	Expected Marks for Easy Paper	Expected Marks for Medium	Expected Marks for Tough	Expected Rank
99.92 percentile	247.3+	236.1+	221.4+	≲ 1,200
99.91 percentile	246.9+	235.6+	220.2+	≲ 1,350

Is 99.91 percentile good in JEE Mains?

Yes, 99.91 percentile in JEE Main is an excellent score and is considered very good for admissions through JEE Main.

A percentile of 99.91 means the candidate has scored better than 99.91% of all students who appeared in that session. In simple terms, only about 0.09% of candidates have scored the same or higher.

For JEE Main, 99.91 percentile in JEE Mains rank generally falls in the range of 800 to 1200, depending on the total number of candidates and overall paper difficulty. This rank is strong enough to secure admission in most NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, including popular branches like Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, and Mechanical, subject to category and home-state quota.

Although IIT admissions are based on JEE Advanced , a 99.91 percentile in JEE Main strongly indicates that the student is well-prepared and has a very good chance of performing well in JEE Advanced as well.

Admission to LPU’s B.Tech. program requires at least 60% marks in 12th with Physics, Mathematics, and English, along with qualifying LPUNEST. With 45%, students may need to improve their score or consider alternative pathways, but the good news is that Lovely Professional University (LPU) is the best because it not only sets clear academic standards but also provides excellent guidance, counseling, and support to help students find the right option for their future.

LPU’s **Semester Exchange Programme** lets you **study abroad for one full semester** at a partner university in countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Europe or Asia and **earn credits that transfer back to your LPU degree**. It’s available after at least **one year of study**, requires a **minimum CGPA (around 6.5) with no backlogs**, and helps you gain **international exposure, language skills and global experience**, though you must cover your **visa, travel and living costs**. The **Division of International Affairs** at LPU supports you with documentation and process steps for nomination and visa.
