Dear Abhijit, qualifying JEE Mains is solely not  enough  to make you eligible for JEE Advanced. Candidates should be in the top 2,50,000 (including reserved categories) in Paper 1 of JEE Main 2020. However, the total number of candidates can be slightly greater than 2,50,000 in the presence of tied ranks/scores. The percentages of various categories of candidates to be shortlisted are:

• OBC-NCL-27% of seats
• SC - 15% of seats
• ST - 7.5% of seats
• 50.5% of seats is OPEN for all.

Within each of these four categories, 5% horizontal reservation is available for PwD candidates.
This simply shows that you have to be among  1,10,000 students if you are GEN candidate to qualify for JEE Advanced.
Assuming the score at the present scenario is not good as there may be chances of increase in number of candidates appearing in the exam. Also the selection of candidates depends on the cut off scores.
All the best
Hope this helps

Hello Aspirant,

It depends on the category you belong to.And the qualification mark varies every year.For General caterogy its 90-120 marks, for OBC 80-90 marks for SC/ST it is 35-40 marks.But these marks changes everywhere, to be on safe side you need to score very well to increase the chance of securing a seat in top IITs/NITs/IIITs and in branch of your choice.So you need to score above qualifying marks.Work hard and give your best.I hope this is helpful to you.
