Hello,
Every year the cutoff percentile changes based on the following factors
  • Total number of seats available
  • Difficulty level of exam
  • Previous year cutoff trends
  • Number of candidates appearing for the exam
  • Number of candidates applying for a ccourse

Based on the cutoff percentile for last year JEE mains for OBC NCL, it was 74.3166557. So according to that, you qualify to apply f or JEE Advanced and also become eligible for admissions into NITs IIITs and GFTIs.
To be eligible for JEE advanced, you also need to score minimum 75% in your class 12 boards or 65% minimum FOR ST/SC/OBC/PwD or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards.

Hope it helps

Hello

It's quite difficult to predict whether you will qualify to be eligible for JEE advanced or not as cut off percentile keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the examination etc.

But as per past year trends with 83.7 percentile in JEE mains you hold a very good chance to qualify JEE mains to be eligible for JEE advanced

For example,

in jee 2019 cut off percentile for Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) was 74.3166557 percentile only

Thank you
