Hi Pritipriya,

First, you need to understand how the top 20 percentile is calculated.

It is calculated by counting the marks in FIVE basic subjects which are-

1. Physics

2. Chemistry

3. Maths

4. English or any other language

5. Any optional subject like EVS

Marks are calculated out of 500 and then JoSSA releases a list of top 20 percentile in early July.

In 2017, the cutoff of Maharashtra State Board for the general ca tegory was 343 out of 500 and for obc-ncl, it was 344.

In 2018, it was 361 for general and 362 for the obc-ncl category.

Hope this helps you.

All the best!!!
