Hello

Can you please help us with your category ?

It's quite difficult to predict  qualifying cutoff percentile as it 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.


JEE mains 2019 cutoff percentile for different categories is given below:-

General :-89.7548849

GEN-EWS :- 78.2174869

Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) :-74.3166557

Scheduled Caste (SC) :- 54.0128155

Scheduled Tribe (ST):-44.3345172

PwD :- 0.11371730

So, in case if you belong to general category then you should target at least around 90 percentile to qualify JEE mains cutoff.

Thank you

Hi aspirant,

In order to qualify JEE Main to get eligible to write JEE Advanced, different categories require different percentile. The cutoff for this year can be predicted based on previous year cutoff and the past year cutoff was following:

General........89 percentile

EWS............78 percentile

OBC.............74 percentile

SC................54 percentile

ST................44 percentile

PwD............0.11 percentile

The cutoff for this year will be more or less similar to the above. So in accordance with your category you can predict how much percentile you need to qualify JEE Main.

All the best.
