Hi

There is no subject wise qualifying cutoff or sectional cutoff in JEE main , there is only overall qualifying cutoff in JEE main.

It's quite difficult to predict jee mains 2021 cut off, as cut off percentile  for jee mains 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 for different shifts of the exam etc.

But yes,

on analysing previous year cutoff of JEE Mains, JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile is given below for different categories:

GEN-EWS :-  70.2435518                  70 -75

From above we can see that, in 2020,  a general category student required a minimum of  90.3765335 percentile to qualifying JEE mains 2020 to be eligible for JEE advanced examination

So , to be on the safer side to clear JEE mains 2021 cut off being from general category  you should try to get at least 90-95  percentile , in terms of marks it is around 75 -90 marks. For this you can refer to our page for which link is provided below
