hi,

It depends on what sort of branch and which IIT you want to join and the category you belong too


  eligibility for getting a seat in IIT is 35% marks of the total. So JEE advanced officials give rank to the students who have scored marks greater than 35%.But getting a rank doesn’t mean that you will get a seat too


Also, you do not qualify for JEE ADVANCE through your rank. Instead, it's your marks that decide whether you're qualified for ADVANCE or not.


And now, how many marks you need in JEE MAINS to qualify for JEE ADVANCE.

General: The marks between 100–120 would be enough to just clear the cutoff(wouldn't get you any good rank)


OBC: A decent between60–80 would make you eligible without giving a good rank in MAINS.


SC/ST: You guys just need marks between 40–60 to clear the cut-off.


There is no fixed score for cutoff it would be around 80-130.


For admission in  IITs you should have rank  below 3k. So aim high.


So do well, all the best!!!!

Hi Shraddha,

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is one of the best and biggest institute for BTech.Joint Entrance Exam (JEE)is a path for IITs.If you qualify in JEE main you will be eligible for JEE advance and if you get a good rank you may take admission in IITs.If you get good marks in JEE main but not qualify in JEE advance then you may get admission in NITs and other GFTIs.

Hope it helps

Hello Shraddha 

See IIT is a prestigious college and stand at the epitome of engineering in India.

To get into IIT u need to have a rank within top 10000 in JEE advanced and a percentage of 75 in class 12.

U r not eligible for getting admission in IIT on the basis of JEE main.
