Hello Greetings

From this year onwards JEE MAIN is conducted by National testing agency therefor the exam is conducted in different shifts,  to avoid any kind of partiality in terms of difficulty the cutoff will not be marks but rather it will be percentile is calculated for different shifts so after both the session of JEE main over that is JEE main January and JEE main April then only the cutoff percentile will be announced so as this is the first time therefore we cannot tell you the exact cut off but  out of 10 lakh students two lakh are going to be selected therefore cutoff percentile should be around 80 percentile.

Hope this helps all the best

Hey sivannarayana

We can not predict about the cut off marks as you know that from this year you will get 2 chance in a year ( highest of the two marks will be considered for the final ranking).
And this may effect in the cut offs and Ranking vs number also.
As many students try to score more in second attempt and they get familiar with exam and exam pressure in their first attempt.
So if we see last year's cut offs we can assume that this year cut off may be around 100-110 .
So good luck

Hello sir.
From 2019 JEE mains is conducted by NTA and is online.The cutoff for mains is never fixed from before but is calculated by a process.Suppose the committee has to select 200000 students from the exam.Then they will select the top 200000 students from the total number of students giving exam and the Lowest select score will be declared as the cutoff for that year.Same is with the case of category marks.Hope this was helpful.
Good Luck!
