Dear Tejasree,

It will be very difficult to say that what will be the cutoff of JEE Main 2021 and also out of total four sessions, only two sessions have been held yet. Hence, it will be very early to say confidently that you will be eligible for JEE Advanced i.e you will be qualified in JEE Main or not.

But if can get some by observation of previous years cutoff of JEE Main and can get some ideas.

Below I am enlisting the cutoff of JEE Main for OBC category in last few previous years.

Year                        Cutoff

2020                     72.8887969

2019                     74.3166557

Now as you can see, according to last year(2020) cutoff trend, it seem like you are being little short of percentiles when compared to previous years cutoff. But still you have some chances that you will be qualifies this year. I will suggest you to prepare well for the remaining two attempts, and try to get 95+ percentile.

You can check the cutoff in detail by going through the link below.

You can also use our rank predictor tool to know your expected rank on a given percentile. Below I am attaching the link.

In case you are trying for another attempts of JEE Main then, i will suggest you to go through our supplement designed by our experts to boost your preparation. Below is the link of it.

I hope this information helps you.

All the very best!!

Hello student cut off vary every year on various factors like level of questions in the examination number of seats offered and total number of aspirants.

As per previous year records it's little tough for you to eligible to appear in Jee advance as you've secured 70 percentile and you're from OBC category.

Last year for OBC category the cut off was 72.8887969.

But if the cut off decrease this year then you will be eligible to appear in Jee advance.

Hi

It's quite difficult to predict whether you will qualify or not as JEE main qualifying cutoff to be eligible for JEE advanced examination keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

*number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

*kind of marks obtained by them ,

*toughness level of the jee main examination for different shift etc.

But yes,

As per previous year trend. JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced  is given below for different categories  :-

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Category jeemain2020 jeemain2021 expected off

General :-     90.3765335                 90-95

GEN-EWS :-  70.2435518                  70 -75

OBC-NCL :-  72.8887969                   70 -75

SC     :-           50.1760245                  50 -55

ST :-                39.0696101                  40 - 45

PwD :-            0.0618524                      1- 2

You can check the same at our page the link is provided below

From above it is clear that, last year qualifying cut off for obc  category was  72.8887969 and expected jee main 2021 cut off for obc is 70 - 75 percentile . So with 70 percentile, you hold a little low chance to qualify JEE main 2021 to be eligible for JEE advanced examination

So, I would suggest you focus on your preparation for remaining sessions of jee main so that you can improve your score   ,  go through chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.To help you in your application you can use our jee main knockout for which link is provided below
