Hello,

Exam difficulty and candidate quantity impact the minimum marks required to qualify for JEE Mains every year. Usually for the General category, the cutoff is between 85 and 90 percentile, this approximates to about 90–100 marks out of 300.

However, JEE Mains does not have a fixed maximum score for qualifying. Instead, candidates must meet the cutoff marks set by the conducting body (National Testing Agency) to be eligible for JEE Advanced. The cutoff marks are determined based on categories such as General, OBC, SC, ST, and PwD. These cutoffs are released after each exam session.
