JEE Main Cutoff 2025

JEE Main Cutoff has been divided into the JEE Main Qualifying Cutoff and the admission Cutoff. JEE Qualifying Cutoff is the minimum score that candidates must score in order to sit for the JEE Advanced 2025. JEE Admission Cutoff is the minimum rank required for admission to the NITS, IIITs, and GFTIs. There are various factors that define the cutoff of JEE Main Exam. These factors include the difficulty level of the exam, number of students who took the exam, candidates' category, cutoff trend over the past years and the number of students applying for a particular program.

JEE Main Qualifying Cutoff

JEE Main 2025 Cutoff will be released after the announcement of the final results of the examination. Meanwhile, the candidates can check the previous years' JEE Main Cutoff for all the categories. JEE Main cutoff for the general category students has increased over the past 2 years while the cutoff for all the other reserved categories has seen a drop in the trend.

JEE Main Admission Cutoff

JEE Main Admission Cutoff is defined as the minimum rank required by candidates for admission to B. Tech/ B. Arch/ B. Planning programs in the JEE Main Participating Colleges. Candidates can also refer to the JEE Mains Marks vs Percentile in order to check the relation between these two. JEE Main cutoff is made available in the form of opening and closing ranks which is released after every round of JoSAA Counselling. By taking a look at the previous year JEE Main Cutoff stats, candidates can get an idea of what they can expect from the JEE Main 2025 Admission Cutoff.
