    Hello,

    subject-wise cutoff or the qualifying marks were:-

    • Physics:- 186 aggregate marks:-372 for both exams
    • Chemistry and mathematics :- 62 aggregate marks:- 124

    JEE Advance is held in two sessions so aggregate marks is calculated by taking average of both the exams.

    Category - wise cutoff is different which is highest for CRL i.e. 35 marks in aggregate.

    To Sum up all the above, A Candidate has to score 124 marks per subject and 372 as aggregate marks to qualify JEE Advance.

    This is why JEE Advance is one of the most toughtest exam in India.

    For more details go through the official site of jee advannce:-https://jeeadv.ac.in/examination/faqs.html

    Hope it helps!

    Ohh Sorry I didn't see the year. For Year 2016, Subject - wise cutoff was different as per Category.For general the minimum subject wise  cutoff was 13 and aggregate marks was 75.For OBC the minimum subject wise  cutoff was 12 and aggregate marks was 67.For ST and SC  and all other categories ,the minimum subject wise  cutoff was 07 and aggregate marks was 38.You were saying It Should be 12 instead of 13.Cutoff is based on lot of factors. It not just based on some set of rules or on one state. To Specify a cutoff The board thinks about whole country candidates. So, There must be some factor that general cutoff has to be 13 and obc 12.Hope you get it now.

    Thanks  but my point of concern was that 10% of 124 comes to 12.4 and therefore cut off should be 12 and not 13.

    As per rounding rules, any decimal number below .5 will be floored and above is ceiled.
    For example 12.4 is rounded to 12.
    12.5 then it will be 13
