JEE Main 2025 Result Analysis: Expected Cutoff

The important thing to note is more candidates from the OBC category registered and took the exam as compared to the general category, this may affect the JEE Main cutoff for Advanced, especially for the OBC category. Experts say that the cutoff will rise across categories. 2.5 lakh top candidates from JEE Main 2025 will qualify for JEE Advanced exam. The expected cutoff for JEE Advanced eligibility is as follows, according to the experts:

• Gen - 94 percentile
• EWS - 85 percentile
• OBC - 82 percentile
• SC - 65 percentile
• ST - 54 percentile

It is important to note that this year’s exam has been reported to be more difficult than last year, resulting in a lower number of candidates achieving a 100 percentile. This could potentially impact the cutoff. However, with the April attempt still to come, the cutoff may change significantly. The final number of registrations and the number of candidates appearing for the exam will be determined after the April attempt, and these factors will play a crucial role in shaping the JEE Main 2025 cutoff for JEE Advanced.
