Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

As per your question, as you didn't mentioned your category so it would be difficult to say whether you are eligible for jee advance or not. But as you mentioned your percentile, so as per NTA guidelines only they can give jee advance paper who have cleared their cutoff in their respective category. So cutoffs for categories like :-

1) General:-89 percentile

2) OBC:-74.31 percentile

3) SC:-54 percentile

4) ST:-44 percentile

5)PWD:-0.11 percentile

so as per this cutoff of jee mains 2020 if you belong from SC, ST,Or PWD then only you are eligible for giving jee advance paper .

If you want to predict your college based on your jee rank or percentile then you can visit:-
