What the scorecard shows (AIR, percentile and basic details)
Your JEE Main scorecard for Session 2 will display:
- AIR (All India Rank).
- Percentile score for the session.
- Subject-level marks and total marks as processed by NTA.
AIR and percentile are the two main items colleges will look at during counselling and seat allocation. Save the PDF and keep multiple copies — you will need them during counselling and for future admission procedures.
Physics: two dropped questions — what that means for you
NTA has listed 2 dropped Physics questions in the final answer key. Dropped questions are not evaluated and are removed from scoring. The final answer key already accounts for these dropped items.
Practical advice: when you see your scorecard, check subject totals carefully. The dropped Physics questions will be reflected in the subject marks and the final percentile shown on your scorecard.
