Hello there,

Scoring 80 marks in JEE Mains is decent but it depends on various factors, including your category and the difficulty level of the exam that year. Generally, the cutoff for JEE Mains is around 70-90 marks for students in the General category, but it could vary.

For the General category , an 80 mark score might be near the cutoff for qualifying but could be on the lower end for admission into top-tier colleges. For SC, ST, OBC, or other reserved categories , an 80 mark score could be quite competitive.

However, this score alone doesn't guarantee admission to prestigious institutions like IITs or NITs. If you want to get into NITs , your rank will depend on the overall performance, and you might need to perform well in JEE Advanced for admission to IITs.

Improving your score can help you secure better options, so if you're planning for another attempt, consider revising your preparation strategy.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
