hello aspirant,

You can fetch seat in IIT bombay only if  you clear the admission cutoff in jeeadvance for the college.first you need to give the jeemain exam qualify it by clearing the qualifying cutoff.basically cutoffs are 2 types.one is qualify cutoff and the other is admission cutoff.qualifying cutoff makes you eligible to just write jee advanced and if you fetch a decent rank in jeemain then you can fetch seats in nits,iiits,gftis and other government and private engineering colleges.now clearing jeemain cutoff wont fetch seat in IIT bombay.you need to write the jeeadvanced to fetch seat here.so to give you need to first clear jee main cutoff which is as follows:

Common Rank List (CRL)-90-95

Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL)-70-75 percentile

note that the above cutoffs are based on previous year cutoffs and they keep varying every year due to many factors like total students appearing for exam,difficulty level of paper etc.once you clear the above cutoff percentile for obc in jeemain you can give your jee advance exam and to fetch seat in IIT bombay ,the  closing rank for the year 2019 was 122 for obc category.for more information refer to https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-advanced-cutoff-for-iit-bombay

hope this helps,

thankyou.

Hello Aspirant,

It is quite difficult to tell you the exact JEE-Main 2021 qualifying cut-off percentile because the qualifying cut-off percentiles which needs to be cleared by any candidate to sit in JEE-Advance is released along with the final result of JEE-Main and for JEE-Main 2021 the final result will be released after all four attempts will be completed and the final result will be on the basis of your best score amongst different attempts. However basis on 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 :-

Now coming to the second part of your query, admission to IIT Bombay for B.Tech course is offered only on the basis of JEE-Advance score not on the basis of JEE-Main score.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
