Good afternoon SIr, I got 71.47 in JEE Mains 2021.(obc-nlc) And not been satisfied with the marks, I would like to obtain a year drop and prepare for JEE 2022. I would like to know whether am I eligible for writing JEE Advance as per the cutoff and would just want to give a try without any hopes.
Hello Aspirant,
As the cut-offs were released along with the JEE-Main 2021 result so now it is clear that at what percentile the candidate is eligible for JEE-Advance 2021. As per the NTA, qualifying cut-offs goes like :-
==>> Common Rank List (CRL) - 87.8992241-100.0000000 Percentile
==>> GEN-EWS - 66.2214845-87.8950071 Percentile
==>> Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 68.0234447-87.8950071 Percentile
==>> Scheduled Caste (SC) - 46.8825338-87.8950071 Percentile
==>> Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 34.6728999 87.8474721 Percentile
==>> PwD - 0.0096375-87.8273359 Percentile
So with 71.47 percentile you are qualified for JEE-Advance 2021 and you should start your preparation of JEE-Advance 2021.
