Minimum and Maximum Cut-Off Marks Required to get into IITs

Hi,

JEE Advanced me qualify karne ke liye JEE Main me kisi fixed percentage ki requirement nahi hoti. Percentile aur rank ke basis par cutoff decide hoti hai.  JEE Advanced ke liye eligible hone ke liye aapko JEE Main ke Top 2,50,000 rank holders ke andar aane chahiye, sab category mila kar.

Har saal cutoff percentile thoda alag hota hai, par approximate range general (UR) ke liye hoti hai 90–92 percentile tak, EWS ke liye 78–80 percentile tak, OBC-NCL ke liye 73-75 percentile tak, SC ke liye 55-60 percentile tak aur ST ke liye 45-50 percentile tak.

Iska matlab hai ki agar aap SC category se hai, to lagbhag 55 se 60 percentile JEE Main me lana par aap JEE Advanced ke liye qualify kar sakte hai.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

Yes, you can start now and prepare for the January attempt of JEE Main . It will be challenging, but with focus and proper planning, it is possible.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Make a study plan : Divide topics into daily and weekly targets. Focus more on important and high-weightage topics.

2. Start with basics : Make sure your concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Math are clear.

3. Practice regularly : Solve previous year papers and mock tests to understand the exam pattern.

4. Revise often : Keep revising formulas, important concepts, and tricky problems.

5. Stay consistent : Even small daily progress is better than irregular study.

If you stay dedicated and follow a strict plan, you can be ready for January.

Hope it helps !

Hello Hitesh

• A state EWS certificate is usually not valid for JEE Advanced or JoSAA counselling.

• You’ll need an EWS certificate in the central government format, as required by IITs.

• Even if issued by your local authority, it must clearly mention it’s as per Govt. of India norms.

• You can visit your tahsildar/revenue office and request it in the “central format for JEE.”

• Make sure the issue date is after April 1, 2025, for it to be valid in 2026 counselling.

• You don’t need it at the time of JEE Main, only during Advanced registration and JoSAA.

• You still have enough time to get it updated, so no stress, just don’t delay it too long.

Hello,

To get below AIR 100 in JEE Advanced 2027, you need a strong and focused plan. Here’s a simple guide:

1. Clear Concepts : Make sure all NCERT basics are strong. Focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Maths concepts deeply.

2. Advanced Practice : Solve previous years’ JEE Advanced papers and high-level questions from books like HC Verma, I.E. Irodov, OP Tandon, and Cengage.

3. Regular Mock Tests : Take full-length tests every week. Analyse mistakes and improve weak areas.

4. Time Management : Learn to solve questions quickly and accurately. Work on speed and accuracy together.

5. Short Notes : Make notes/formulas for quick revision.

6. Consistency : Study daily and avoid long breaks. Consistent practice is key.

7. Focus on Weak Areas : Identify topics you struggle with and spend extra time on them.

8. Stress Management : Stay healthy, sleep well, and avoid last-minute panic.

If you follow a structured plan and stay consistent, AIR below 100 is achievable.

Hope it helps !

Deciding to switch from CISCE board to a CBSE school for cracking JEE in Class 11 depends on various factors. While the CBSE syllabus aligns more closely with JEE curriculum, transitioning involves adapting to a new system and syllabus, which might initially pose challenges. However, CBSE's focus on JEE preparation through its curriculum and resources can be advantageous. Consider factors such as your comfort with the ICSE system, your ability to adapt, the quality of coaching available, and your determination to excel in JEE. Ultimately, choose a path that suits your learning style and goals best.

According to the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced, the candidates must have appeared in Class 12th and scored 75% aggregate marks. For the first time, you appeared in the CBSE Class 12 board exam in 2024, and in 2025, you appeared in the 12th examination from the NIOS board and scored 75%. Since NIOS is a recognised board, and you fulfil the aggregate marks, you are eligible to appear in JEE Advanced 2026 .
