NTA uses the normaization process to release JEE Main percentile rather than raw scores to ensure fairness across its multiple shifts. To make it clearer, if you have secured 97 percentile in JEE Main, it means you scored better than 97% of the other candidates who took the exam in your session. This puts you in a good position and increases your chances of getting into the participating NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, and qualifying for JEE Advanced exam.
