JEE Mains 2025 for Qualifying Percentile: Candidates can access the qualifying percentile data for JEE Main through this page. The National Testing Agency will release the JEE Mains 2025 cutoff on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. To qualify for JEE Advance participants need to meet the minimum percentile specified by JEE Mains 2025. The cutoff marks to qualify in JEE Main 2025 varies every year based on the factors like difficulty level of exam, number of candidates and seats available. The authority conducted the JEE Main entrance exam on January 22 to 30, 2025.

JEE Mains 2025 qualifying percentile is calculated using the normalisation process for all the exam shifts. Securing the JEE Main qualifying percentile allows students to appear for JEE advance, but to secure admission into the NITs, IIIT’s and GFTI’s, candidates must score the respective institute cutoff and marks. In case of General category candidates, the cutoff percentile ranges from 88 to 92. In case of OBC, it is around 72 to 76, and for SC/ST the cutoff falls between 30 to 55. For more details regarding what is the qualifying percentile for JEE Mains, candidates can refer to the article given below.
The National Testing Agency evaluates JEE Main 2025 scores for percentile across three distinct subject categories (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) and a combined overall scheme using this normalization formula.
Total Percentile (T1P) | (100 x No. of candidates from the session with a raw score equal to or less than T1 score) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Mathematics Percentile (M1P) | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than than M1 score in Mathematics) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Chemistry Percentile (C1P): | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with a raw score equal to or less than C1 score in Chemistry) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Physics Percentile (P1P) | (100 x No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score equal to or less than P1 score in Physics) / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session |
Candidates can check the Top 10 NTA Score and Overall Rank List in the table below.

Compilation and display of Result for multi session Papers of JEE(Main) For examinations conducted twice (First and Second attempt) before admissions to the next academic session.
1. Compilation of Result for First attempt:
Since, the first attempt will be conducted in multi-sessions, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate in each session as per above procedure. The calculated NTA scores for all the sessions will be merged for declaration of result. The result shall comprise the four NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) and the total for the first attempt.
2. Compilation of Result for Second attempt:
Similarly, the second attempt will be conducted in multi-sessions, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate in each session as per above procedure. The calculated NTA scores for all the sessions will be merged for declaration of result.The result shall comprise the four NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) and the total for the second attempt.
3. Compilation of Result and Preparation of Merit List / Ranking:
The four NTA scores for each of the candidates for the first attempt as well as for the second attempt will be merged for compilation of result and preparation of overall Merit List / Ranking.Those appeared in both the attempts; their best of the two NTA scores will be considered further for preparation of Merit List /Rankings as explained in the following example:

The National Testing Agency will release the JEE Main 2025 cutoff on the official website. Candidates can check the expected cutoff for various categories: 95+ for General, 83+ for OBC, 85+ for EWS, 65+ for SC, and 50+ for ST.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Category | Expected cut off |
---|---|
General | 91-95 |
EWS | 77-85 |
OBC NCL | 77-85 |
SC | 58-65 |
ST | 44-50 |
A score that reaches beyond 95% of all observed data points belongs to the 5th percentile group. The top 5 percentile indicates your test score surpasses what 95% of test-takers achieved. Becoming part of the top 5 means your ranking surpasses 95% of potential candidates thus sitting at the 95th percentile position.
To calculate the JEE Mains percentile for 2025, candidates should use the following formula: Percentile = (100 × Number of candidates in the session with a raw score equal to or lower than the T1 score) / Total number of candidates who appeared in the session.
On Question asked by student community
The approximate annual cost for 11th/12th PCM and JEE coaching is around 1.5 to 3.5 lakhs for institutes, excluding hostel and mess fees. The total fees including hostel as well as mess fees can rise upto 4.5 to 6.5 lakhs and above, depending on location and institute quality.

Hello,
For JEE Main and JEE Advanced , the cut-offs are lower for ST category students. Here is a simple idea based on recent trends:
JEE Main qualification for ST : Around 50–60 marks is usually enough to qualify for JEE Advanced.
JEE Advanced qualification for ST : You just need to clear the JEE Main cut-off, then appear for Advanced.
To get good NITs or IITs , you will need higher marks.
For NITs (Hyderabad or good branches), try for 120+ marks in JEE Main .
For IITs , even with ST quota, you should aim for at least 80–100+ marks in JEE Advanced for decent branches.
Since you are from ST category and Hyderabad , you don’t need 300 marks in JEE Main. Try to score as high as possible to get better branches, but even moderate marks can qualify you.
Hope it helps !
Yes, you can. If you do 11th from CBSE in 2025 and 12th from NIOS in 2026, then you are allowed to attempt JEE. NIOS is a valid board, so you can give JEE in 2026 and again in 2027. Just take admission on time and pass your 12th exams.
For the JEE 2026, priority-wise, high weightage chapters include Integral
1. Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, Vectors, 3D Geometry, Complex Numbers, and Quadratic Equations in Maths
