Hello,
For JEE Main and JEE Advanced , the cut-offs are lower for ST category students. Here is a simple idea based on recent trends:
-
JEE Main qualification for ST : Around 50–60 marks is usually enough to qualify for JEE Advanced.
-
JEE Advanced qualification for ST : You just need to clear the JEE Main cut-off, then appear for Advanced.
-
To get good NITs or IITs , you will need higher marks.
-
For NITs (Hyderabad or good branches), try for 120+ marks in JEE Main .
-
For IITs , even with ST quota, you should aim for at least 80–100+ marks in JEE Advanced for decent branches.
Since you are from ST category and Hyderabad , you don’t need 300 marks in JEE Main. Try to score as high as possible to get better branches, but even moderate marks can qualify you.
Hope it helps !
