Hello Venkatesh,

See the qualifying marks for the JEE mains varies from year to year. If you want to have your good chance to qualify for this exam then you should have "at least" 100 to 130 marks.
You would be able to sit in into the JEE advanced exam after getting those marks.

Hope this helps
All the best

Dear Venkatesh
As per the previous years cutoff,  it's like changing every year and also what I want to say is if you get 120 marks also you'll just qualify the JEE mains and you won't get any university to get into so at least try to get 180 marks So that you can get into some good colleges like NIT CALICUT etc.., 
Please take care of that.
If you have some more queries,  comment here.
All the best.
