JEE Mains 2025 Qualifying Percentile: Expected Cutoff and Latest Updates

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.

JEE Main Result 2025 - Percentile Calculation

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.

Calculating JEE Main Percentile

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

BEST REGARDS

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

2. Semiconductors, Current Electricity, Work, Power and Energy, and Gravitation in Physics

3. Organic Chemistry Containing Oxygen, Hydrocarbons, and P-Block Elements in Chemistry.
