JEE Main 2025 : Cutoff
NTA will soon release the JEE Main 2025 cut-off on its official website after the exam is held. Candidates can find the cut-off marks and the list of toppers either on the website or in the PDF included in this article.
It’s important for candidates to understand that the qualifying cut-off and admission cut-off are different. The qualifying JEE Main cut-off is the lowest score you need to qualify for the JEE Advanced exam. JEE Advanced is the next step for getting into top schools like IITs, NITs, and IIITs. Only candidates who meet the JEE Main cut-off will be allowed to take the JEE Advanced 2025 exam. This qualifying cut-off will be shared along with the JEE Main results.
For admissions and school placements, JoSAA releases the admission cut-off after each round of allotment. This means the cut-off can change based on categories, schools, and courses. While NTA hasn’t released the official JEE Main cut-off for 2025 yet, you can look at the expected cut-off based on last year’s trends.
