Hello,
There's no passing marks for jee mains.However,there is cutoff marks of jee mains in order to become eligible to apply for jee advanced.
Last year it was 81 marks for general category students,49 for obc,32 for sc,27 for st,1 for pwd.
And in 2016,the cutoff marks of jee mains for general category students was 100 marks.
So you can yourself analyse that it is difficult to predict cutoff marks.
Good luck.

In jee main cut off marks indicate the lower limit that makes you eligible for jee advance and there is nothing like passing marks as such. Jee main is actually a way to reach to the prime colleges of India.
