For SC candidates, the minimum JEE Main percentile required for admission varies by institute and branch.

Top NITs & IIITs: 85-90 percentile (for core branches like CSE, ECE, etc.).

Other NITs & IIITs: 75-85 percentile (for branches like Mechanical, Civil, etc.).

State Government Colleges: 60-75 percentile (depends on state quota).

Private Colleges: Many accept lower percentiles, but admission depends on institute-specific criteria.

It's best to check JoSAA/CSAB cutoffs for the exact percentile required for a specific institute.

For SC candidates, the minimum percentile required in JEE Mains for admission varies from institute to institute. However, to give you a general idea, here are some expected cutoff percentiles for SC candidates:

- General Cutoff: The expected cutoff for SC candidates is around 65+ percentile.¹

- NITs and IIITs: For top NITs and IIITs, the cutoff percentile for SC candidates can range from 70 to 85 percentile.

- GFTIs: For Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs), the cutoff percentile for SC candidates can range from 60 to 80 percentile.

Keep in mind that these are general estimates and the actual cutoff percentiles may vary depending on various factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the institute's admission policies.

It's always best to check the official website of the institute you're interested in or consult with their admissions office for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
