The exact percentile cutoffs can vary from year to year depending on the overall performance of students. For the most accurate information, it's recommended to refer to official CBSE statistics or reports released by credible educational institutions. Consulting with your school or educational counsellor can provide insights into the recent trends and cutoffs for percentile rankings in CBSE 12th board exams. To be in the top 20 percentile in the CBSE 12th board exams, you would typically need a very high score.

Hello,

Hi

Top 20 percentile is issued by josaa each year for each board.
Anyway,
For cbse board, in general top 20 percentile is roughly is 85-86 percent in 12th for general category.
For example,
In 2018, for general category, 432 out of 500 marks i. e 86.4 % marks was top 20 percentile for cbse board.

Am assuming you are asking abou this to be eligible for NITS etc.
You need to have 75 % in 12th if belongs to general category or needs to be in top 20 percentile. So, even if you get 75% you will be eligible for NITs etc.

To help you further,

Jee main eligibility criteria is given below-

--------) Qualification required :- to be eligible  for JEE mains you need 10+2/equivalent qualification from a recognised board.

--------) Passing year :- one is eligible for JEE main examination for consecutive three years starting from the year of appearing for 12th /equivalent examination i. e to be eligible  for JEE mains 2022 you should be either appearing for 12th board exam or equivalent  in 2022 or should have passed it in 2021 or 2020

--------) There is no age limit to be eligible

--------) there is no minimum percentage requirement to be eligible for JEE Main.

But yes,
