Hello,

Taking the previous year cut off rank in to consideration. It is quite difficult to get seat in an NIT with such rank under SC category. However, here is the list of few IITs in which you have slight or low chances of getting seat based on previous year cut off

  • Indian Institute of Technology Jammu: Materials Science and Engineering- 3007
  • Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi: Bioengineering with M.Tech in Biomedical Technology (5 Years, Bachelor and Master of Technology (Dual Degree))- 3039
  • Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee: Chemistry (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science)- 3014

As you can see the cut off is below 3484 so the chances are very low to get seat in an IIT. But cut off is subjected to change it may increase or decrease depending on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. So it may increase or decrease this year based on above mentioned factors.

Hello Aspirant,

As we go through the latest cut-offs of 2020 then it shows that the closing rank for OBC category was 5227 for Biological Sciences (5 Years, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (Dual Degree)) branch in IIT Madras .

See it is quite difficult to tell you about exact marks to score because for JEE-Advance no maximum marks are fixed but yes with regards to JEE-Advance 2021 if you secure your AIR in JEE-Advance under top 5200 in OBC category then there would be good chances for you to get into IIT Madras .

You can check out the latest cut-offs from the link given below :-

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

Hey,
In 2020 the cutoff rank for Mechanical Engineering in IIT Madra was 1034. In 2019 it was 846. You can see the variation in cutoff. It is difficult for me to comment on the cutoff for 2021 as the cutoff varies every year depending on various factors like:

  • Total number of students applied
  • Total number of students appeared in the exam
  • Difficulty level of the exam
  • Total number of seats

You can refer the link for last few year's cutoff ogf IIT Madras.

As the exam is yet to be conducted, it is not possible to say anything about the cutoff for this year's Jee Advanced to get into IIT Madra.
