Dear aspirant,

There is no qualification criteria for giving JEE. For JEE you must have passed your class 12 board examination. But, to get admission into NIT/ IIT you'll have to be in the top 20 percentile of the boards.

In 2019, general category cutoff stood at 66.8%, fo 65.2% for other backward class (OBC), 63% for Scheduled Caste (SC) and 62.8% for Scheduled Tribes (ST).

So, usually for general category the percentage falls between 65-72. The official percentile data has not been declared by JOSAA yet.

Hope this helps
