There are two types of cutoffs: qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff.
Qualifying cutoff is to screen candidates for JEE Advanced. Test-takers who meet the qualifying cutoff will be eligible to attempt the JEE Advanced examination.
Admission cutoff is the cutoff released by JoSAA on behalf of the participating institutes and is the minimum rank candidates should secure in JEE Main to ensure higher chances of admission into NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. It will be released after every round of seat allotment.
Factors determining the JEE Main cutoff
It should be noted that the cutoff will vary category wise, institute wise and engineering branch wise. Also, various factors are considered while determining the cutoff. Few of the factors are listed below:
· Difficulty level of the exam
· Previous year cutoff trends
· Number of candidates applying for the course
· Number of candidates appearing for the exam
· Availability of seats
Cutoff changes every year based on the factors mentioned above. However, to aid the aspiring engineers, previous years' qualifying cutoff has been mentioned below for reference.
