How is JEE Advanced Cutoff Calculated?
The JEE Advanced cutoff is divided into two parts, i.e, qualifying cutoff and admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff is calculated to determine whether the candidate is eligible for inclusion in the rank list or not.
The qualifying cutoff is calculated based on the total marks scored in the JEE Main exam, the performance of all the candidates is compared to decide a minimum qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced. Each reserved category has a separate cutoff and minimum marks in each subject.
- For General (CRL): Around 10% per subject and 30–32% overall.
- For GEN-EWS / OBC-NCL: Around 9% per subject and 27–29% overall.
- For SC / ST / PwD: Around 5% per subject and 15–17% overall.
The JEE Advanced admission cutoff refers to the closing rank required for admission to an IIT.
- It is declared by JoSAA after each round of counselling.
- The cutoff is calculated based on the seat allotment data and depends on the last rank at which the seat is allotted in a branch of the IIT.
| Aspect | Qualifying Cutoff | Admission Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Inclusion in the rank list | Admission to a specific IIT/program |
| Decided By | JEE Advanced (conducting IIT) | JoSAA (based on counselling data) |
| Format | Minimum marks (per subject & total) | Rank-based (Opening and Closing ranks) |
| Varies By | Category | IIT, branch, category, gender |
| Impact | Eligibility to appear in JoSAA | Determines the actual seat allotment |
Factors Influencing JEE Advanced Cutoff 2026
The JEE Advanced cutoff changes every year as it depends on various factors such as exam difficulty level, number of candidates appearing, seats availability etc.
The various factors influencing JEE Advanced cutoff are given below:
- Difficulty Level: It is the most important factor in determining the cutoff as the difficulty of the paper increases the cutoff decreases or vice versa.
- Number of candidates: The more number of candidates appearing for the exam, the more will be the competition. Higher competition increases the cutoff.
- Seat Availability: When the available seats increases, it will reduce the cutoff slightly.
- Students Performance: If more number of students perform better or score high then the cutoff will also rises.
- Reservation: There will be different cutoff for different sections of the society due to reservation.
- Previous year cutoff trends: The authorities try to maintain stability in the qualifying cutoffs except if there is sudden change in the exam difficulty.
- Tie-Breaking Rules: When many candidates score similar marks, the tie-breaking criteria affect final ranks and closing marks.
