Following the formal announcement of the final results, the National Testing Agency will release the information. The JEE Main cutoff has two types: the qualifying cutoff marks or admission cutoff. The JEE Main qualifying cutoff is the minimum score that candidates must get to be considered for JEE Advanced. JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) will issue the JEE Main admission cutoff in the form of opening and closing ranks for each institute.
Candidates must achieve a score that is greater than or equal to the national average. Candidates who reach the JEE Main qualifying cut-offs will be able to take the JEE Advanced exam for admission to India's IITs.
For admission to JEE Main participating institutes, candidates must get minimal ranks (close ranks). After each round of JoSAA counseling, admission cutoffs for all participating institutes will be announced.
Candidates can see the expected qualifying scores for JEE Main by category. After the final result is announced, NTA will provide the JEE Main cutoff for JEE Advanced based on Paper 1 (BE/BTech):
