Hii!
The cut-offs change every year depending on certain factors such as difficulty level of paper, number of students attending the exam, no. Of seats available etc., The minimum percentile for UR general categories is expected to be 89th percentile. For general EWS it is expected to be 78th percentile. It can change though. Also, there is no minimum marks for passing jee Mains. Even people with Negative percentile can go for counseling. To sit for JEE advanced, you should have scored more or equal to qualifying cutoff.
