Hello aspirant,

As of now it's tough to say what could be the cutoff because every year the cutoff changes due to many factors like total students appearing for exam, difficulty level of paper etc factors.but based on previous year analysis and your rank, category we can help you with your query.now going through the percentile vs marks in march session you need to score minimum 200 to fetch a percentile for 99.5-99.58.a score above 200 would be much safer.you  can check the below link for more clear information for marks  vs percentile analysis:

hope this helps,

thankyou.

Himanshu,

I can give you a rough idea about this based on the previous year records. As per the marks vs percentile analysis, you shoud score 180+ to secure more than 99.5 percentile in JEE MAINS 2021. And with this precentile/marks you can get a good rank upto 5000 which might help you to get a good seat in top NITs or any other top reputed colleges.
