I got 79 percentile in jee main February section am i able to qualify

Hello,

To qualify in JEE Main you have to score the minimum cut off percentile that is specified. Last year the cut off percentile to qualify in JEE Main was as follows

• General:90.3765335
• OBC-NCL:72.8887969
• EWS:70.2435518
• SC:50.1760245
• ST:39.0696101
• PWD:0.0618524

As you can see the cut off percentile is different for each category. You haven't mentioned your category assuming that you belong to general category you may qualify in JEE Main but if you belong to any other reserved category then you have decent chances to qualify in JEE Main. Cut off changes every year depending on number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of exam and number of seats available etc. The expected qualifying percentile is as follows for JEE Main 2021

• General: 90-95
• OBC-NCL/EWS: 70-75
• SC: 50-55
• ST: 40-45
• PWD: 1-2
