Hello,

On such percentile you have very good chances that you might get qualified for JEE-Advance 2021 but still an official cut-off has not been released so it is not possible to ensure you but yes now you should put your major focus on the preparation of JEE-Advance and if due to some reason you won't be cracking JEE-Advance with good score then also you have your JEE-Main score as back-up because on such JEE-Main score you would not only qualify for JEE-Advance but you can also get some NITs/IIITs.

Based on previous year's cut-off trends we can help you with the expected qualifying cut-offs for this year :-

  • Common Rank List (CRL) - 90- 95 Percentile
  • GEN-EWS - 70- 75 Percentile
  • Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 70- 75 Percentile
  • Scheduled Caste (SC) - 50- 55 Percentile
  • Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 40- 45 Percentile
  • PwD - 1-2 Percentile

So according to the above table you have good chances to qualify for JEE-Advance 2021 but still we have to wait for final result of JEE-Main 2021.

Note that in above table it is not the actual cut-off for JEE-Main 2021 but expected on the basis of previous year's analysis. You can check out previous year's cut-off trends from the link given below :-
