Hi aspirant,

See cracking JEE Main has two perspectives:

  • Cracking JEE Main to get admission in NITs as well as to write JEE Advanced
  • Cracking JEE Main just to write JEE Advanced

Let me elaborate it. If you are aiming with the first one i.e. to write JEE Advanced with intention of getting admission in NITs (if advanced is not cleared in case). Then you need to get above 98 to get into good NITs for general category and for reserved categories it os lesser. If you are appearing in JEE Main just to clear it to be eligible to write JEE Advanced then you need to get Following percentile depending on your category.

General...........89 percentile

EWS................78 percentile

OBC.................74 percentile

SC.....................54 percentile

ST.....................44 percentile

PwD..................0.11 percentile

Hope I answered your query. All the best.

There is no such minimum marks to crack Jee Main. The cutoffs of different Engineering colleges are different and they vary based on various factors. But to be eligible for Jee Advanced or To qualify Jee Main, you need to secure a minimum score which can make you eligible for Jee Advanced. The qualifying cutoffs of Jee Main depend on various factors like no. Of candidates appeared, difficulty of paper, highest score obtained etc. And these quantities keep changing every year, so there is no fixed cutoff. Also it depends on individual's category. Last year's qualifying cutoff was- for CRL- 89.7548849, General EWS category- 78.2174869, OBC- NCL- 74.3166557, Scheduled caste- 54.0128155, Scheduled Tribe- 44.3345172 and PwD candidates- 0.11371730. Now going by previous few years' data, it can be predicted that if you are from general category, then scoring at least 85 percentile in Jee main, can make you eligible for Jee Advanced.
