JEE Advanced cutoff: expected score and rank bands
No official JEE Advanced cutoff is published on Shishya yet — the score bands below are indicative, not official. Official cutoffs are published at jeeadv.ac.in.
AI-curated from historic cutoff patterns. Indicative, not official. Always verify with the latest official notification.
Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 90–100 / 360 (25–28%) |
| EWS | 80–90 / 360 (22–25%) |
| OBC-NCL | 75–85 / 360 (21–24%) |
| SC | 40–50 / 360 (11–14%) |
| ST | 35–45 / 360 (10–12.5%) |
| PwD (Gen) | 45–55 / 360 (12.5–15%) |
- Category gaps: General cutoffs typically run 10–15 marks above OBC-NCL and 45–55 marks above SC/ST qualifying thresholds. Reserved category candidates benefit from proportionally lower minimum marks for qualification.
- Year-on-year variation: Cutoffs fluctuate ±5–10 marks based on paper difficulty, number of candidates, and seat availability. Tougher papers suppress absolute marks but percentile/rank distribution remains stable.
- Note: These are *minimum qualifying marks* for rank generation. Actual admission to specific IIT-branch combinations requires far higher scores (see tier bands above); top IIT CSE typically needs 200–240+ marks (55–67%).
