Hello Aspirant,

On January 7th 2021 our Hon'ble Education Minister Mr. Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank did announce that the JEE-Advance 2021 will be conducted on July 3rd 2021 by IIT Kharagpur and only those candidates will be allowed to appear for JEE-Advance 2021 who will clear the qualifying cut-off percentiles which will be released by NTA at the time of final result declaration of JEE-Main 2021 along with the final result. See 75% criteria is nothing but the eligibility requirement for admission to IITs means if the candidate unable to secure 75% marks in his/her class 12th then he/she will not be eligible for admission to IITs but now in the wake of COVID-19 this criteria has been relaxed.  So as per the previous year, this year also 75%  relaxation is provided but only for admission to IITs not for NITs/IIITs/CFTIs. Which means the candidate should have passed all the subjects of class 12th for which he/she is appearing and if he/she is unable to secure 75% then also he/she will be eligible for JEE-Advance 2021 and for admission to IITs.

However on the basis of previous year's cut-off trends we can help you with the expected qualifying cut-offs for this year :-

• Common Rank List (CRL) - 90 - 95 Percentile
• GEN-EWS - 70 - 75 Percentile
• Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 70 - 75 Percentile
• Scheduled Caste (SC) - 50 - 55 Percentile
• Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 40 - 45 Percentile
• PwD - 1-2 Percentile

Note that in above table it is not the actual cut-off for JEE-Main 2021 but expected on the basis of previous year's analysis. You can check out previous year's cut-off trends from the link given below :-
