Hello

No, you cannot get into IITs directly irrespective of your percentile or rank in jee main.

This is because

Admission in IITs is completely on the basis of jee advanced. One just needs to qualify jee main to be eligible for jee advanced.

It's quite difficult to predict JEE mains qualifying cutoff to be eligible for JEE advanced examination as it keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

*number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

*kind of marks obtained by them ,

*toughness level of the jee main examination for different shift etc.


But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then

JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced  is given below for different categories on the basis of past year trends :

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Category jeemain2020 jeemain2021 expected off
