IIT Palakkad JEE Advanced Cutoff 2025 - Check Previous Year Cut off Here

To appear for JEE Advanced , candidates must meet certain eligibility criteria regarding their 12th board exam . Specifically, the criteria for the number of attempts in JEE Advanced are based on the year of passing the 12th exam .

Here’s the relevant information:

Number of Attempts for JEE Advanced:

1. First Attempt :

   • A candidate must have passed their 12th exam (or equivalent) in the year of appearing for JEE Advanced or the previous year.

   • For example, if you are appearing for JEE Advanced 2025 , you must have cleared your 12th exam in 2024 or 2025 .

2. Maximum Attempts :

   • A candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of 2 times in consecutive years.

   • This means if you have already appeared for JEE Advanced in the previous year , you can attempt it once more the following year.

Example:

• If you clear your 12th exam in 2025 , you will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2025 and JEE Advanced 2026 (if you meet other eligibility criteria).

• If you miss JEE Advanced 2025 , you can still appear in 2026 as long as it’s within your 2-year window after passing the 12th exam.

Important Points:

• Your 12th board exam marks (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) will be considered for determining eligibility and ranking in JEE Main .

• JEE Advanced eligibility depends on your JEE Main rank and meeting the cutoffs as well as other criteria like age, nationality, and more.

To secure a seat in an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) through JEE Advanced, you need to fulfill a set of conditions that cover your performance in JEE Main, your academic background, and other criteria. Here's a breakdown of the key conditions:

First and foremost, you must qualify in JEE Main and be among the top 250,000 candidates (including all categories) who clear Paper 1 of JEE Main. This is the primary filter to be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

Secondly, there are criteria related to your Class 12 (or equivalent) examination . You must have passed this examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Additionally, you need to either secure at least 75% aggregate marks in the qualifying examination (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) or be within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective Class 12 board examination.

Regarding the number of attempts , a candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years. For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2024 or 2025. Those who appeared for the first time in 2023 or earlier are generally not eligible.

There is also an age limit . Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 2000. However, there is a five-year age relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, meaning they should have been born on or after October 1, 1995.

Finally, candidates who have already been admitted to an IIT under any academic program in previous years (through JoSAA) are generally not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced again. However, there are some exceptions for those who were admitted to a preparatory course or whose admission was cancelled before the final round of seat allotment.

In simple terms, to get into an IIT through JEE Advanced, you need to perform well enough in JEE Main to be eligible, pass your Class 12 with good marks (or be a top performer in your board), be within the allowed number of attempts and age limit, and not have already taken admission in an IIT previously. Make sure to check the official JEE Advanced website for the most up-to-date and detailed eligibility criteria.

You cannot change your category from OBC (State) to General EWS during JoSAA counseling if your category is not listed in the central OBC list. Your category will be considered based on the documents provided during the JEE Advanced application process.

Since you’ve qualified JEE Mains Paper 2 but not Paper 1, you cannot apply for JEE Advanced directly, as the eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to have qualified JEE Mains Paper 1 .

Important Points:

1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced : You must qualify Paper 1 of JEE Mains, which is the entrance exam for JEE Advanced . Paper 2 is for B.Arch aspirants and does not affect eligibility for JEE Advanced.

2. Which Score is Counted : For JEE Advanced , only the Paper 1 score is considered, and it’s used to determine your eligibility for the exam.

What to Do Next:

• You may be able to apply for other B.Arch colleges based on your Paper 2 result, but for JEE Advanced, you would need to clear Paper 1 in a future attempt.

Cleared only Paper 2 in JEE mains

Hi Adhya! Congratulations on clearing JEE Advanced !

Based on your JEE Advanced scores:

• CRL Rank : 304880

• OBC-NCL Rank : 107412

Admission Possibilities in NITs and IIITs :

With your OBC-NCL rank of 107412 , here’s what you can expect:

• Top NITs (like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, etc.) and IIITs (like IIIT Hyderabad) will likely be out of reach for branches like CSE , as they typically require a much lower rank.

• However, for lower-ranked NITs and IIITs , you may have a chance for branches like:

Information Technology (IT)

Software Engineering

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)

Some NITs that might still offer you a seat in IT or related branches are:

• NIT Durgapur

• NIT Goa

• NIT Sikkim

• NIT Mizoram

• NIT Nagaland

• NIT Puducherry

IIITs :

For IIITs , the competition is high for CSE , but you may still have a chance in newer IIITs like:

• IIIT Kota

• IIIT Bhagalpur

• IIIT Nagpur

• IIIT Kalyani

Other Good Options:

If you are interested in CSE or related branches , here are a few private universities that offer strong computer science programs:

• VIT Vellore

• SRM Institute of Science and Technology

• Shiv Nadar University

• Amrita University

• Manipal University

These institutions offer CSE , Software Engineering , and related branches and have a high reputation, with good campus placements.

Summary:

• Top NITs and IIITs : Unlikely for CSE with your rank, but branches like IT, Software Engineering, and ECE may be possible in lower-ranked institutions.

• Private Universities : You have a strong chance in institutions like VIT , SRM , Shiv Nadar , and Amrita .
