Hello,

There are two kinds of cut off one is category specific cut off and second one is institute specific cut off. Category specific cut off is a cut off specified for each category and institute specific cut off is a cut off specified by each institute to get admission in that particular institute this cut off is different for each branch and varies from one institute to another. If you score the cut marks specified for each category by NTA then you will qualify and will be eligible to get admission in NITs and participating institutes. Cut off is determined after the JEE Main exam is concluded, we cannot predict the cut off now. In 2019 the cut off was as follows for each category
