JEE Main 2021 Cut-Off

Last year, the JEE cut-off percentile for unreserved category candidates in the “common rank list” (CRL) was 90.3765335, up from 89.7548849 in 2019. However, the cut-off scores had seen a dip for all other categories -- Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Persons with Disability (PwD).

As per the data shared by NTA, over 10.6 lakh students appeared for the JEE Main 2020 in January and 6.35 lakh appeared in September.

The JEE Main cut-off indicates the score of the last person to write the JEE Main who has qualified to appear in JEE Advanced for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) across the nation. The top 2,50,000 candidates in the JEE Main are eligible to write the JEE Advanced. A drop or increase in the cut-off percentile scores, therefore, implies a general decline or improvement in performance.
