The JEE Main test is already in its last round, which will end on September 2. Following the exam, the national testing agency (NTA) will release the question paper's answer key and invite applicants to challenge it. The final answer keys will be generated when the answer key challenge is completed, and the NTA scores for the JEE Main last session test will be released.

What is NTA score?

• NTA score is used to determine the merit list of JEE main exam. If a candidate has appeared in more than one session of JEE main, the best of the NTA scores will be considered for preparation of all India ranking.

• Overall merit will be prepared by merging NTA scores of all shifts of all days.

• The actual marks obtained by a candidate in a particular session is called raw score. In order to decide the final merit list, the raw scores will be converted to NTA score.

• Since JEE Main is held on multiple dates, it is obvious that the difficulty level of the question papers administered in different sessions may not be exactly the same.  As a result, applicants who take the more difficult exam are more likely to receive lower scores than those who take the simpler one. To ensure that no one is disadvantaged or benefited as a result of the exam's difficulty level, raw results are transformed to NTA scores using the 'Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score'.

• The percentile scores for the total raw score for all the sessions will be merged and will be called the NTA scores.

• In case, the percentiles for multi-shift exams are not similar for a particular category, then the lowest percentile will be considered as the cut-off for that category.
