Dear student,

Unfortunately, it seems like you will not be able to cross cutoff for JEE advanced.

If we analyze, last few years cutoff of JEE MAIN for general category students then in 2019 the cutoff was 89.7548849  and in 2020 it became 90.3765335.

You can check previous year cutoff by going through the link below.

At this percentile you rank will be somewhere between 214830 - 241500 and for general category students, the cutoff rank for JEE advanced is around 1,10,000.

You can also check you rank yourself by using our rank predictor tool. Below I am attaching the link.

Incase you want to see which colleges you can get in your rank range then you can use our college predictor tool. Below is the link for that.

I hope this answer clarifies your doubts.

All the very best!!
