No in both of them you should score good marks much above the cut off marks so as to get admission into nits and iits.
Cut off marks in jee main ensure that you are eligible to give Jee advance.

Hey Aasim,

No,its not like that.You need to secure good ranks in JEE Main and JEE ADVANCED respectively if you want to get admission in NITs and IITs .

Hello Aasim.
See, to get admission in good NIT colleges, you need to score well in your JEE Mains. Just clearing the cut-off marks might not give you many options of your choice.
Hope this helps.
All the best !

No. I dont think you will. JEE Advanced is the entry to 10988 seats and ten times students get more than qualifying cutoff marks so you see the toppers will get the chance to avail admissions. As for JEE Main, there is no cutoff. Anyone who writes the exam is given a rank. NITs have 17868 seats so again the top scorers will get the chance as 12 lakh students write the exam.
