Hi

Did you mean minimum marks required for qualifying JEE mains for category?

JEE mains 2020 qualifying  CUT OFF is given below for different categories:-

* General :- 90.3765335 percentile

* GEN-EWS :- 70.2435518 percentile

* Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) :-72.8887969

* Scheduled Caste (SC) :- 50.1760245 percentile

* Scheduled Tribe (ST):- 39.0696101 percentile

* PwD :- 0.0618524 percentile

So, an Sc category student required a minimum of 50.1760245 p ercentile to qualifying JEE mains 2020 which is equivalent to around 28 marks , as per our article at

But cut off percentile  for jee mains keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the examination etc. So , you should try to get at least 15 to 20 marks more to clear JEE mains next year.

Dear student,

Let me guess that you are asking for the JEE Mains cutoff for SC category. So the expected cut-off for JEE Mains 2021 is listed below.

Common Rank List (CRL)

90- 95

GEN-EWS

70- 75

Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL)

70- 75

Scheduled Caste (SC)

50- 55

Scheduled Tribe (ST)

40- 45

PwD

1-2


To clear JEE Mains , you have to clear your respective category cut-off. Cut-off also depends on various factors like no. of students appearing, difficulty level of exam, etc. So it keeps changing every year.

Hope this helps.
