To ensure fairness in evaluating JEE Main 2024 results, the National Testing Agency will use a process called normalisation. Since the exam took place over multiple days and sessions, this ensures that candidates will face similar difficulty levels. The normalisation process ensures that no candidate gains an unfair advantage or disadvantage. NTA will rank students based on their percentile scores, calculated using a predetermined formula.
