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

Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello navineesh,

with a 73.45% JEE score, you can target reputed private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu like SRM Institute of Science and Technology, VIT Vellore, and Satyabama Institute of Science and Technology. Government colleges through JEE Main in Tamil Nadu are limited, as most use TNEA. consider applying through management or entrance quota in private universities.

Hello,

SRMJEE Rank: 15,190 and VITEEE Rank: 1,25,900

You wish to study Computer Science Engineering. Here are your choices:

SRM University (Rank: 15,190):
You have a fair chance of securing CSE (core) at SRM Ramapuram, SRM Vadapalani, or SRM NCR (Delhi) campus.
You may also get CSE specializations like AI/ML or Data Science at SRM Main Campus (Kattankulathur) under Fee Category 2 or 3.

Fees:

Fee Category 1: Rs 2.5L/year
Fee Category 2 or 3: Rs 3 to 3.5L/year

VIT (Rank: 1,25,900):
You are eligible for Bhopal or AP campus but not for Vellore or Chennai campus for CSE.
You can anticipate CSE core or its specializations at VIT-AP or VIT-Bhopal under Category 1 or 2 fees, possibly.

Fees:
Around Rs 1.76L to Rs 2.95L per year based on category and campus

Comparison Summary:
SRM provides older, settled campuses such as Ramapuram and NCR with good placements (average Rs 4–5 LPA).
VIT Bhopal and AP campuses are fresher but carry stronger brand power, higher-quality infrastructure, and marginally superior average placements (Rs 5–6 LPA) of late.

Verdict:
Go with SRM if you like the setup at an already established location.
Go with VIT (Bhopal/AP) if better branding appeals and you're comfortable with fresh campuses.



Hi aspirant,

Based on last year's data and with your VJNT-D status, earning a Computer Science seat at K.K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research with a 96.24 percentile in JEE Mains appears to be a good possibility.

However, cutoffs change from year to year, so for the most up-to-date information, consult the official admission lists and actively participate in the counseling process.

All the best!

Based on your 987 marks in intermediate and 84.6 percentile in JEE, you may have a chance to secure a seat in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at SASTRA University. The university considers both your 12th marks and JEE scores for admission. In previous years, the cutoff for CSE was around 987 marks in intermediate, and your score is close but slightly below this threshold. While admission is not guaranteed, there may still be opportunities, especially if you belong to a reserved category. It's best to check the official SASTRA University website for updates on the admission process and cutoffs.



With an EWS rank of 6328 and a percentile of 97.01 in JEE Mains 2025, you have a good chance of admission in VNIT, though it depends on the branch and the overall competition. Given your HSC score of 72.12%, consider applying for branches with comparatively lower cutoff ranks.
