hello aspirant,

Its quite tough to say the qualifying cutoff because each year the cutoff varies due to many factors like difficulty level of paper,total number of students appearing for exam etc.sometimes even in the two sessions january and april sessions the cutoff changes like this year.however the expected cutoff for 2021 as per analysis for obc is:70-75.but this is just an analysis .make sure you score more and prepare well  because this year the competition might rise because of 4 attempts.for more info check: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff

Hi

It's quite difficult to predict jee mains 2021 cut off, but when we go through previous year trends then


JEE mains 2020 qualifying  CUT OFF is given below for different categories:-


* General :-  90.3765335   percentile

* GEN-EWS :- 70.2435518 percentile

* Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) :-72.8887969

* Scheduled Caste (SC) :- 50.1760245 percentile

* Scheduled Tribe (ST):- 39.0696101 percentile

* PwD :- 0.0618524 percentile


So,  an obc category student required a minimum of 72.8887969 percentile to qualifying JEE mains 2020

But cut off percentile  for jee mains keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the examination for different shifts of the exam etc.
So , you should try to get at least 75 percentile or more to be on the safer side to clear JEE mains 2021 cut off being from OBC category

To prepare well you can go for our jee mains knockout at the convenience of your home
