What is the cutoff for jee mains? By looking the previous year trends, the cutoff increased every year, but the predicted cutoff by your site for this year is less, that is last year it was 93 and the site predicts that this year's cutoff is 92. How is this possible???

Hello there,

The JEE Mains cutoff depends on several factors, including the difficulty level of the paper, number of candidates, and seat availability. While the cutoff has increased in recent years, a lower predicted cutoff this year (from 93 to 92) could be due to:

  1. Paper Difficulty: If JEE Mains 2025 is tougher than 2024, the cutoff may drop.

  2. Number of Candidates: Fewer high-scoring students can lead to a slightly lower cutoff.

  3. Normalization & Percentile Calculation: Even a slight change in scoring trends affects the cutoff.

Since official cutoffs are released only after exams, predictions are based on trends but not exact figures. It's best to aim above 95 percentile for a safer rank.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

The JEE Main qualifying cutoff is influenced by several factors, including:

  • Number of Candidates Appearing : An increase in the number of test-takers can raise the cutoff due to heightened competition.

  • Exam Difficulty Level : A more challenging exam may result in a lower cutoff, as overall scores tend to decrease. Conversely, an easier exam can lead to a higher cutoff.

  • Overall Candidate Performance : If a significant number of candidates perform exceptionally well, the cutoff is likely to rise.

  • Seat Availability : The number of seats available in participating institutes can also impact the cutoff; more seats may lead to a lower cutoff and vice versa.

While there has been a general upward trend in cutoffs over recent years, annual fluctuations are possible due to the dynamic nature of these influencing factors. For instance, if the JEE Main 2025 exam is perceived to be more difficult than the previous year, it could result in a lower cutoff, even if the number of candidates has increased.

It's important to note that cutoff predictions are estimates based on available data and trends. The actual cutoff can vary once all factors are considered and the exam results are analyzed. Therefore, while predictions serve as a useful guideline, they are not definitive.
