Hello Mihir, Greetings!
The top 20 percentile cut off for droppers will be for the year when they gave the class 12 exams. Meaning, that if a person has dropped for 2020 JEE, then top 20 percentile for droppers will be for 2019 class 12 exams and not 2020 class 12 exams.
Also, if you are a student of CBSE then 75+ percentage will be equivalent to top 20 percentile.
Thank you.

Hii mihir
The top 20 percentile is compared for the year which the students have passed boards. For example if you have passed 12 in 2019 and passes jee in 2020, than top 20 percentile of 2019 will be compared for you. You can know top 20 percentile from josaa website.
Hope it helps
