Hello Aspirant,

It is difficult to predict your exact qualifying marks for JEEAdvance eligibility.

As of now through prediction you shuld get atlest above 65%(SC as you mentioned) for appearing in JEE Advanced exam.

The above mentioned percentile is mentioned through comparing with previous years percentile and ranks and only for SC category as you mentioned and for other categories it varies upto 75%.

Good Luck.

Hii, though a combined result will be announced for JEE main April and January sessions but still according to the analysis of various coaching institutes such as Resonance and FIITJEE the the cutoff for qualifying JEE mains will be between 75-77% but as you belong to SC category your cut off will be lower than this range. So, yes you will be able to qualify for JEE Advanced.

I hope this would have helped you. All the best!

Hi,


This year around 9,65,000 students appeared for JEE Mains. An SC candidate can expect a cutoff percentile above 60 with a score between 31-36. There are very good chances of you to qualify for JEE Advanced. Also, for admission in IITs/ NITs/ IIITs/ CFTIs, you will need at least 75% marks in class 12th or have to be in the top 20 percentile in your respective board.


Best Wishes.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hello candidate,

According to your mentioned percentile your general category rank will be around 1.92 lakh, it's quite hard to predict your sc category rank as it depends on the number of students appearing in the April session. since every year 2.24 lakh students qualify for JEE advanced,you have moderate chances of qualifying even with your general category rank, so we can say you have high chances of qualifying for JEE advanced with your sc category rank.

All the best :)
