Hello student,

The answer to this question is not absolute. It depends on a number of factors. Normally, the cutoff score for qualifying for JEE Advanced is around 100/360. So if you get 100 marks in JEE Advanced, you will get a rank of about 2 lakhs. If you want to go for NITs situated in the north east,a score of about 130–140 will be enough but if you are eyeing top NITs like NIT Trichy, you must get 270+. Likewise for a good rank in JEE Advanced, you need to score atleast 40% of the max marks (160 out of 400). So for IIT you need minimum 50% marks in JEE Advanced.

Thank You!

Dear Shubham,

The cut off will depend on various factors like

  • Number of students appeared for exam
  • Difficulty of exam
  • Number of vacancies available
  • Performance of candidates

However, considering 2019 cut off trends to be on safe side you must secure a rank in between 1000-2000 in JEE Advanced 2020 so that you will have very high chances of get seat in IIT in your desired branch.Also you need to qualify in JEE MAINS 2020 so that you will be eligible to write JEE ADVANCED.

I hope this is helpful to you.
