Hi


Which category do you belong to?

You have not mentioned the category you belong to so I am assuming you are from general category

It's quite difficult to predict jee mains 2021 cut off, but when we go through previous year trends then

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,  a general category student required a minimum of 90.3765335 percentile to qualifying JEE mains 2020 . And as per previous year data, 90 percentile is around 70 marks  .

You can check it at https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-marks-vs-percentile

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 for different shifts of the exam etc.

So , you should try to get at least 80 marks or more to be on the safer side to clear JEE mains 2021 cut off being from general category .

Now, limited time is left for jee mains 2021 , so to prepare well your jee examination, go through chapters first and your focus should be on grasping concepts , practising questions and then revising them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
