Hello Aspirant,

As you have asked that the percentile requires or cut-off to qualify for JEE-Advance. From previous year data the cut-off for qualify JEE Advance round is 72 percentile but it may vary this year that the cut-off for this year may be less than 72 percentile or may be more than 72 percentile so, at instant time there is no such cut-off is released for JEE Advance student . Until the National Testing Agency not released any date for cut-off . I think that it may release the cut- of after the second phase entrance exam.

So, Don't worry about the cut-off it may vary between 70 to 80 percentile for Obc candidate.

Hope this helps you.

jellaramyasri yes, if you belongs to obc category you are qualified mostly. because the cutoff for this year will be nearly same as previous year. and regarding your expected marks, your marks will be b/w 48 to 57.
