According to Sandeep Mehta, IIT alumnus and co-founder of Vidyamandir Classes, the JEE Main cut-off to qualify to appear for JEE Advanced 2025 will be based on aspects such as the difficulty level of the exam, number of candidates appearing and overall performance. As per recent trends, the general category cutoff is expected to be between 93 and 95 percentile, which roughly equates to 85-90 marks out of 300.

For OBC-NCL and EWS candidates, the cutoff is likely to be slightly lower, around 91 to 93 per cent, with scores ranging around 80-85 marks. For SC candidates, the cut-off percentage is likely to be around 82 to 86 and for ST candidates, around 73 to 80 per cent. This means candidates belonging to these categories may need to secure between 50 to 65 marks.
