Hi

With 64 percentile

  • Your crl rank will be around 368280 - 414000 and you would have got around 35 - 40 marks in jee main as per predictor at

It's a misconception that you need to be in top 2.5 lakh rank to be eligible for jee advanced   rather JEE main qualifying cut off for different categories   is such that only a total of around 2,50,000  students become eligible to appear for JEE Advanced  examination.

For example,

Jee main 2020 qualifying cut off to be eligible for jee advanced for st category was 39.0696101 percentile which is around common rank of 6-7 lakh . While a general candidate with 85 percentile which is around 1.5 lakh - 1.7 lakh i. e in the top 2.5 lakh was still not eligible because Jee main 2020 qualifying cut off to be eligible for jee advanced for general category was 90.3765335 percentile.

So, to be eligible for jee advanced  you need to meet jee main qualifying cut off percentile for your category.

Now,

It's quite difficult to predict JEE mains qualifying cutoff to be eligible for JEE advanced examination as it keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

******number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

******kind of marks obtained by them ,

******toughness level of the jee main examination for different shift etc.


But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then

JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced  is given below for different categories on the basis of past year trends :

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Category jeemain2020 jeemain2021 expected off

General :-     90.3765335                 90-95

GEN-EWS :-  70.2435518                  70 -75

OBC-NCL :-  72.8887969                   70 -75

SC     :-           50.1760245                  50 -55

So, with 64 percentile, you hold very good chance to qualify JEE main and be eligible for JEE advanced

ST :-                39.0696101                  40 - 45

PwD :-            0.0618524                      1- 2
