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!!!
