    In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. In JEE, it is number scored by you on the scale of 100.
    A percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below, which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. For example, the 90th percentile in JEE Mains means that by the virtue of marks scored in JEE you are in top 10% of the students, who appeared for examination and also 90% students are below marks scored by you.
