i have scored 25 marks in math paper1 and 5 in paper 2 will i be eligible for jee advance

Hi Nitin

The cutoff for JEE Advanced is released at the same time when the result is announced. This year, the date of result declaration is June 14, 2019. The examination has two different types of cutoff- qualifying cutoff and admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff has to be met to qualify the examination and admission cutoff is for the preferred course and institute, as in it has to be satisfied to secure a seat in your preferred college. Also, the examination body declares subject wise cutoff for all the three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and this cutoff has to be satisfied in order to qualify for further counseling. The subject wise cutoff is also different for different categories. Since you have not mentioned your category, I will answer your question considering all the categories.

I already mentioned that the cutoff has not been declared, but we can check previous years' cutoff and do the analysis.

JEE Advanced 2018 Qualifying marks

JEE Adv 2018 paper had a grand total of 360(paper 1- 180, paper 2- 180).Thus, subject wise total = 120. Given below are the different categories and the minimum marks required in each subject.

General(CRL)- 12
OBC-NCL- 11
SC - 06
ST- 06
CRL-PWD- 06
SC PWD -06
ST PWD -06
Preparatory Course- 03

Also, the minimum percentage of marks required in each subject category wise is given below-

General(CRL)- 10.0
OBC-NCL- 9.0
SC - 5.0
ST- 5.0
CRL-PWD- 5.0
SC PWD -5.0
ST PWD -5.0
Preparatory Course- 2.5

This year the paper was of 372 marks, i.e each paper of 186 marks, thus subject wise total= 124.

Accordingly, the highest cutoff(the minimum percentage required) amongst all the categories is for the general ( 10%) , we see that estimated subject wise cutoff this year will be 12 marks(for general category). For other categories, the estimated cutoff is-

OBC-NCL- 11
SC - 6
ST- 6
CRL-PWD- 6
SC PWD -6
ST PWD -6
Preparatory Course- 3

Since you are getting a total of 30 marks in mathematics(25+5), it is sure that you will be qualified for this subject(note that similar criteria holds for the other two subjects as well), as you are getting more marks than the highest estimated cutoff.

Hope this helps.

All the best!!
