Discrepancies in Percentile Scores

This year, despite good scores in the initial shifts of the JEE-Main 2024 exam, the percentile scores did not meet expectations. Conversely, in the final days’ shifts, despite lower scores, the percentile scores were comparatively better.

This has led to confusion among students regarding the disparity between the number of students appearing in the initial shifts versus the final shifts. Typically, an equal number of students participate in each session of the JEE-Main exam. Hence, the significant difference in the number of students appearing in different shifts has raised questions.
