The expected JEE Advanced cutoff ranks for IIT Indore are given below. These are opening and closing ranks for different branches.

How is JEE Advanced Cutoff Calculated?

The JEE Advanced cutoff is divided into two parts: qualifying cutoff and admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff decides whether a candidate is eligible for the rank list.

The qualifying cutoff is based on total marks in JEE Main. Candidate performance is compared to set a minimum qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced. Each reserved category has a separate cutoff and minimum marks per 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 is the closing rank needed for admission to an IIT. It is declared by JoSAA after each counselling round.

• It is calculated from seat allotment data.
• It depends on the last rank at which a seat is allotted in a branch of the IIT.

Factors Influencing JEE Advanced Cutoff 2026

The JEE Advanced cutoff changes every year. It depends on exam difficulty, number of candidates, and seat availability.

The factors that influence the cutoff are listed below.

• Difficulty Level: This is the most important factor. Higher difficulty lowers the cutoff; lower difficulty raises it.
• Number of candidates: More candidates mean more competition, which increases the cutoff.
• Seat Availability: An increase in available seats slightly reduces the cutoff.
• Students Performance: If more students score high, the cutoff rises.
• Reservation: Different categories have different cutoffs due to reservation.
• Previous year cutoff trends: Authorities try to keep qualifying cutoffs stable unless exam difficulty changes suddenly.
• Tie-Breaking Rules: When many candidates score similar marks, tie-breaking criteria affect final ranks and closing marks.

With a 10,000 rank, you can still secure admission in IITs, but your chances for popular branches like CSE, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering are low. However, you can get admission to less competitive branches in top IITs, particularly in later rounds. General (CRL) candidates can hope for branches such as Civil and Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Patna, and IIT Kharagpur, but CSE and EE are not possible. GEN-EWS candidates have relatively higher opportunities in Mechanical, Civil, and Metallurgical streams at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Patna. OBC-NCL candidates have very good chances of studying Mechanical, Chemical, and Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Bombay. SC and ST candidates will be helped by reduced cutoffs, with chances in Civil, Metallurgical, and Chemical Engineering at IIT Patna, IIT Roorkee, and IIT Bhubaneswar.

It is important to note that JEE Advanced paper is not set by a single IIT, but rather by experts from multiple institutes. Although IIT Guwahati has been regarded as the institute that sets the toughest JEE Advanced paper, this perception is not entirely accurate. In 2016, IIT Guwahati conducted the exam and that year's paper was deemed challenging and controversial. However, when IIT Guwahati held JEE Advanced in 2023, there were no reports of an unusually difficult paper. Therefore, it is not possible to anticipate the difficulty level of JEE Advanced based on the conducting IIT. JEE Advanced Admit Card Sample Guidelines Mentioned on JEE Advanced 2026 Admit Card To ensure fair and smooth conduction of the examination, NTA has released a number of guidelines to be followed by all test takers. You can also read exam day guidelines on the admit card. You are advised to reach the test centre two hours prior to the commencement of the JEE Advanced 2026 exam to avoid last minute rush and ensure a smooth verification and security check. You must sit on the seat allotted by the authorities. You must ensure the question paper displayed on the screen is according to your opted subject in the admit card. Sheets for rough work will be provided which you must return before leaving the centre. You will neither be allowed to enter the examination hall after the exam commences nor leave before it ends. If you need any technical assistance or face any other problem, you can contact the invigilator present. Items allowed in the JEE Advanced 2026 test centre NTA mandates the taking of the following items in the examination hall: JEE Advanced Admit Card 2026 Self-attested duly filled undertaking downloaded from the NTA website A valid, non-expired photo identity card such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, etc. Passport-size photograph as uploaded on the online application form PwD certificate if applicable Ballpoint pen Transparent water bottle If you are diabetic, you can carry sugar tablets and fruits. Items prohibited inside the JEE Advanced 2026 test centre Before reaching the examination venue, ensure that you are not carrying any of the following items into the examination hall: Any electronic device such as mobile phones, pagers, etc. Stationary items Any written text Eatables Bags/wallets Is 75% removed from JEE Advanced? The 75% eligibility criterion for JEE is an important factor for candidates aspiring to get admission for undergraduate engineering courses through the exam. Here’s what you need to know about this requirement: General Eligibility Requirement: 75% Marks in Class 12th Board Exam: For candidates to be eligible for JEE 2026, they must have secured at least 75% marks in their Class 12th or equivalent examination (from recognized boards) OR be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards. For candidates from SC/ST/PwD categories, the eligibility is relaxed. They only need to have passed their Class 12th exam without any minimum percentage requirement. If a candidate is appearing for Class 12th exams in 2026, they can apply for JEE 2026 and are allowed to appear without meeting the 75% criterion at the time of the exam. However, the requirement will apply at the time of admission. Category Eligibility Requirement General & EWS Candidates 75% marks in Class 12th or top 20 percentile SC/ST/PwD Candidates No percentage restriction, just pass Class 12th Appearing Candidates No restriction, but 75% is mandatory at the time of admission Is 95 % enough to qualify JEE Advanced? Yes, a 95 percentile is enough to qualify for JEE Advanced. This gives you an approximate rank between 50,000- 60,000. IITs with 95 % Rank in JEE Advanced: Category Branches Likely Available IITs General Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering IIT Kharagpur, IIT Patna GEN-EWS Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering IIT Patna, IIT Kharagpur OBC-NCL Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering IIT Patna, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Jammu, IIT Palakkad SC Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering IIT Kharagpur, IIT Patna, IIT Jammu ST Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering IIT Kharagpur, IIT Patna, IIT Dharwad JEE Advanced AAT JEE Advanced 2026 is the second stage of the Joint Entrance Examination and the only gateway to the 23 IITs in India.

Foreign, OCI and PIO candidates could apply from 6 April 2026. The last date to pay the fee was 4 May 2026. This window is now closed. The registration was a simple online process on the official portal. You had to use your JEE Main 2026 credentials to log in. The main steps were: Login: You logged in with your JEE Main 2026 registration number and password. Fill the Form: You entered your personal details and chose your exam city preferences. Upload Documents: You uploaded your Class 10 certificate, Class 12 details, category certificate and PwD certificate where needed. Pay the Fee: You paid the registration fee online to confirm your application. JEE Advanced 2026 Application Fee Category Fee (Indian Centres) Female Candidates (all categories) Rs. 1,600 SC / ST / PwD Candidates Rs. 1,600 All Other Candidates Rs. 3,200 The fee was non-refundable and had to be paid online. The fee for exam centres outside India was higher and was charged in US dollars. JEE Advanced 2026 Exam Pattern The JEE Advanced 2026 exam pattern has two papers. Both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory, and you must appear in both to be considered for the rank list. Each paper is 3 hours long and is held in computer-based mode. Both papers have three sections, one each for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The question types and the marking scheme change every year and are different in each paper. There is no fixed pattern, so you have to read the on-screen instructions carefully during the exam. Feature Details Mode Computer Based Test (CBT) Number of Papers 2 (Paper 1 and Paper 2, both compulsory) Duration 3 hours per paper (4 hours for PwD candidates with scribe) Subjects Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics Question Types MCQ (single correct), MCQ (multiple correct), numerical / integer type Marking Scheme Includes full, partial and negative marking (varies by section) Medium English and Hindi The total marks are decided by the organising institute each year and are usually around 360. Because the marking scheme keeps changing, you should focus on accuracy. A wrong answer in a single-correct question carries a negative mark, so you should avoid blind guessing. JEE Advanced 2026 Syllabus The JEE Advanced 2026 syllabus is based on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of Class 11 and Class 12. The syllabus is wider and deeper than JEE Main, and the questions test how well you apply concepts. You should be strong in basics before moving to tough problems. Physics The Physics syllabus covers Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics. Topics like Rotational Motion, Electrostatics and Current Electricity carry a high weightage. Chemistry The Chemistry syllabus has three parts, Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Important topics include Chemical Bonding, Coordination Compounds, Thermodynamics and General Organic Chemistry. Mathematics The Mathematics syllabus covers Algebra, Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Vectors and Probability. Calculus and Coordinate Geometry usually carry the most marks. The syllabus also matches the NCERT topics for the most part, but the level of difficulty is higher. You should solve previous year papers to understand how concepts are mixed in a single question. JEE Advanced 2026 Admit Card The JEE Advanced 2026 admit card was released on 11 May 2026 and was available till the exam day on 17 May 2026. You could download it from the official portal by logging in with your registration number, date of birth, mobile number and email. The admit card carried your name, roll number, photograph, exam centre details and reporting time. You had to carry a printed copy of the admit card along with a valid photo ID to the exam centre. Without the admit card, entry to the centre was not allowed. Now that the exam is over, the admit card is mainly useful as a reference document during JoSAA counselling and document verification. So you should keep it safe along with your scorecard. JEE Advanced 2026 Answer Key and Response Sheet The JEE Advanced 2026 response sheet was released on 21 May 2026. It showed the answers you marked in both papers. The provisional answer key came out on 25 May 2026, and you could raise objections against it within the given window. IIT Roorkee reviewed all the objections and then released the final answer key on 1 June 2026. The result was prepared on the basis of this final answer key. Using the response sheet and the answer key, you could calculate your expected marks even before the result. The answer key is useful even after the result. You can use it to understand which questions you got wrong and to confirm how your final score was calculated. Both the response sheet and the answer key are available on the candidate portal. JEE Advanced 2026 Cutoff and Qualifying Marks The JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff has two parts. The first is the qualifying cutoff, which decides if your name enters the rank list. The second is the admission cutoff, which is the closing rank for each IIT and branch during JoSAA counselling. To enter the rank list, you must score a minimum percentage in each subject and in total. The category-wise minimum percentages are given below. These percentages stay the same most years, while the actual marks change with the difficulty of the paper. Rank List Minimum % in Each Subject Minimum % Aggregate Common Rank List (CRL) 10.0% 35.0% GEN-EWS / OBC-NCL Rank List 9.0% 31.5% SC / ST / PwD Rank List 5.0% 17.5% Preparatory Course Rank List 2.5% 8.75% The admission cutoff is different for each IIT and each branch. Top branches like Computer Science at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi close at very low ranks, often within the top 100. Newer IITs and core branches close at higher ranks, which gives more candidates a chance. The qualifying cutoff only makes you eligible for the rank list. Your actual seat depends on the JoSAA closing ranks, which are released after each counselling round. Source: JEE Advanced 2026 Admission Criteria JEE Advanced 2026 Marks vs Rank The JEE Advanced 2026 marks vs rank analysis helps you guess your rank from your score. The exam is out of 360 marks, and even a small change in marks can move your rank by hundreds. So scoring a few extra marks really matters at the top. The table below shows an indicative marks vs rank range based on past year trends. The actual ranks depend on the difficulty of the 2026 paper, so use this only as a rough guide. Marks (Out of 360) Expected All India Rank (Approx.) 320 - 360 1 - 20 290 - 320 20 - 200 260 - 290 200 - 800 230 - 260 800 - 2,000 190 - 230 2,000 - 5,000 150 - 190 5,000 - 10,000 110 - 150 10,000 - 18,000 80 - 110 18,000 - 30,000 This year, the topper Shubham Kumar scored 330 marks for AIR 1. This shows that around 320 marks and above is enough to be in the top 20. For a seat in a top IIT, a rank under 5,000 to 6,000 is usually a safe target. JoSAA Counselling 2026 The JoSAA counselling 2026 is the single window through which you get a seat in the IITs after JEE Advanced 2026. The registration and choice filling begins on 2 June 2026. The counselling is also common for NITs, IIITs and other government-funded institutes, but IIT seats are filled only through JEE Advanced ranks. JoSAA 2026 manages admission to 138 institutes for the 2026-27 session. This includes 23 IITs, IISc Bengaluru, 31 NITs, IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs and 56 other government-funded technical institutes. The whole process runs through 6 rounds of seat allotment, expected to finish by late July 2026. The JoSAA process follows the same cycle in every round: Registration and Choice Filling: You register and list your preferred institutes and branches in order. Seat Allotment: Seats are allotted based on your rank, category and the choices you filled. Seat Acceptance and Fee Payment: You accept the seat and pay the seat acceptance fee. Document Upload and Reporting: You upload your documents for online verification. If you qualify the AAT, you also get to add B.Arch choices during JoSAA counselling. So passing the AAT 2026 opens the architecture programmes at IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur and IIT (BHU) Varanasi. You should fill as many genuine choices as possible in order of preference. Locking too few choices can leave you without a seat in later rounds. Source: JoSAA 2026 Official Website Top IITs and Seat Matrix JEE Advanced 2026 opens the door to more than 18,000 seats across the 23 IITs. The seats are spread over B.Tech, B.Arch, dual-degree and integrated programmes. The number of seats is different at each IIT, with the older IITs having the most seats. IIT Approx. Seats IIT Kharagpur 1,899 IIT (BHU) Varanasi 1,589 IIT Bombay 1,368 IIT Roorkee 1,353 IIT Goa 157 The most preferred IITs are IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur. Computer Science Engineering is the most demanded branch and closes at the lowest ranks at these institutes. Reservation of Seats The seats at IITs are reserved as per government rules. The reservation is applied within the total seats of each IIT and branch. OBC-NCL: 27% of seats SC: 15% of seats ST: 7.5% of seats GEN-EWS: 10% of seats PwD: 5% horizontal reservation within each category Female candidates also get supernumerary seats of up to 20% extra. These extra seats are added on top of the normal seats, so they do not reduce the seats available for male candidates. JEE Advanced 2026 Toppers The JEE Advanced 2026 toppers were announced along with the result on 1 June 2026. Shubham Kumar from the IIT Delhi zone topped the exam with 330 out of 360 marks and secured All India Rank 1. His score shows the high level of accuracy needed to top this exam. Rank Candidate Marks (Out of 360) AIR 1 Shubham Kumar 330 AIR 2 Kabir Chhillar 329 AIR 3 Jatin Chahar 319 The top-ranked female candidate is Arohi Deshpande from the IIT Delhi zone. She secured Common Rank List position 77 with 280 marks. The strong show by the top candidates this year again proves that consistency in all three subjects is the key to a top rank. JEE Advanced 2026 Preparation Tips The JEE Advanced 2026 preparation needs a smart plan, not just long hours. The exam rewards clear concepts and problem-solving speed. If you are aiming for the next attempt, the tips below can help you build the right approach. Build Strong Basics: You should be clear with NCERT and standard concepts before solving tough problems. Solve Previous Papers: You should solve the last 10 years of JEE Advanced papers to understand the question style. Take Mock Tests: Regular mock tests in CBT mode help you manage time and reduce silly mistakes. Focus on Accuracy: Because of negative marking, you should avoid blind guessing and double-check your answers. Revise Often: You should keep short notes of formulas and revise them every week. You should also keep a balance between speed and accuracy. The paper is long, so managing your energy across both papers is just as important as your knowledge. A calm and steady approach on exam day helps you score better. FAQs Ques. Is JEE Advanced 2026 result out? Ans. Yes, the JEE Advanced 2026 result was declared on 1 June 2026 by IIT Roorkee.

Mark vs Rank JEE Advanced 2026 Marks vs Rank maps your Paper 1 and Paper 2 aggregate to an All India Rank (AIR). IIT Roorkee organised the exam on May 17, 2026, and declared results on June 1, 2026. A total of 56,880 candidates qualified out of 1,79,694 who appeared in both papers. JoSAA 2026 Rounds 1–4 allotment data is now available. This page maps your 2026 score to AIR ranges and shows which IIT branches each rank band secures across all categories. Download your rank card at jeeadv.ac.in. JEE Advanced 2026 topper Shubham Kumar (IIT Delhi zone) scored 330 out of 360 marks to secure CRL AIR 1. Female topper Arohi Deshpande scored 280 marks and earned CRL rank 77 — a confirmed anchor for the top-100 score band. You need at least 92 marks (25.56% of 360) to get a CRL rank in the General or EWS category. OBC-NCL and GEN-EWS students qualify with 82 marks (22.78% aggregate); SC, ST, and PwD students need 46 marks (12.78%). JEE Advanced ranks come from raw aggregate marks only — unlike JEE Main, there is no percentile or normalisation step. JoSAA 2026 Round 4 data shows IIT Bombay BTech CSE closed at approximately AIR 66–70 for the General category. JoSAA 2026 Round 5 is the final round, scheduled for July 16, 2026 — still upcoming as of today (July 14, 2026).

How JEE Advanced Rank is Calculated JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank: Tie-Breaking Rules How to Use JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank for College Selection JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank FAQs What is JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank? JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank refers to the direct relationship between your total score and the All India Rank you receive. JEE Advanced is the only IIT admission test that maps raw marks to ranks without any percentile layer or normalisation. Everyone who appears in both papers on the same day sits the same test — so your aggregate score straightforwardly determines your position among all qualified students. IIT Roorkee declared JEE Advanced 2026 results on June 1, 2026. Each qualifying student receives a rank in at least one list: the Common Rank List (CRL) for students meeting General/EWS criteria, and a separate category rank list for OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD students. Your CRL rank is the primary number JoSAA uses to allocate IIT seats. Understanding this marks-to-rank conversion matters because the stakes are steep. A 10-mark swing in the 220–260 range shifts your AIR by 500–1,500 positions — enough to move from a core branch at an old IIT to a limited branch at a newer one. Female topper Arohi Deshpande’s confirmed placement (280 marks → CRL rank 77) gives the 2026 conversion table a reliable top-band anchor. JEE Advanced 2026: Important Dates The table below lists all major JEE Advanced 2026 and JoSAA 2026 events. Upcoming events appear first; past events follow in chronological order.

Round 5 on July 16 is the final allotment round. If you have a current allotment, complete your Round 4 fee payment by July 14, 2026 to retain eligibility for Round 5. Factors Affecting JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank Seven factors directly shape where your score lands on the JEE Advanced 2026 rank ladder. Total number of candidates who appeared 1,79,694 students appeared in both papers in 2026. A total of 56,880 qualified — significantly more than in previous years. More qualifiers stretch the lower rank bands, meaning a score of 100–120 marks now competes in a larger pool than it did in 2024 or 2023. Paper difficulty across both sessions JEE Advanced 2026 topper Shubham Kumar scored 330 out of 360 marks — about 2 marks below the 2025 topper’s score of 332. A harder paper pulls everyone’s raw total down. The same 220 marks in a tougher year can produce a rank 300–500 positions better than in an easier year. Category reservation and separate rank lists Your CRL rank reflects your position among all qualified students. Your category rank (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) reflects your position within that group only. These are separate lists. A student with a CRL rank of 8,000 may also hold an SC rank of 200, unlocking branches impossible at CRL 8,000. Subject-wise minimum marks clause Scoring 92 marks in aggregate does not guarantee a CRL rank. You also need at least 7.30% marks in each subject individually across both papers combined. Failing the per-subject minimum disqualifies you even if your aggregate is above the cutoff. Marking scheme and question-type mix JEE Advanced 2026 uses four question types: single correct, multiple correct (partial marking), integer type, and matrix match. Your raw aggregate reflects how well you managed negative marking — not just how many questions you answered. Skipping risky multiple-choice questions often produces a better rank than attempting them incorrectly. Requirement to appear in both papers You must appear in both Paper 1 and Paper 2. Absent in either paper means no rank is assigned, regardless of your score in the other. Your aggregate is strictly the sum of both papers. JoSAA round at which your choice closes Your AIR is fixed after results. Which branch you actually secure depends on JoSAA round dynamics. Closing ranks in early rounds are typically tighter than the final round. Students who upgrade their seats between rounds change the available pool — sometimes opening seats that were closed in Round 4. JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank 2026 Table The table below converts your JEE Advanced 2026 score to an expected AIR range in the Common Rank List (General/EWS category). Data is derived from the official rank card at jeeadv.ac.in and JoSAA 2026 Round 4 allotment results. Confirmed anchor: Arohi Deshpande (female AIR 1) scored 280 marks and received CRL rank 77. Use this data point to calibrate the table below.

If you belong to OBC-NCL, SC, ST, or PwD categories, your category rank gives access to reserved seats at higher AIR numbers. See the Category Wise section for category-specific data. Frequently Asked: What rank does 250 marks fetch in JEE Advanced 2026? A score of 248–264 marks places you in the AIR 200–500 band in the CRL. This range covers IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee CSE, along with Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi — strong options for the 250-mark student. JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank: Branch Wise Analysis JoSAA 2026 Round 4 allotment data (released July 10, 2026) shows the competitive landscape for key branches. CSE at the top IITs remains the most contested branch, with General category closing ranks clustering in the AIR 68–1,450 range.

Source: JoSAA 2026 Round 4 Opening and Closing Ranks — josaa.nic.in JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank: Category Wise Analysis JEE Advanced 2026 publishes six separate rank lists. Your category rank is independent of your CRL rank. A strong category rank at lower aggregate marks opens branches at IITs that would be impossible at the same CRL rank. JEE Advanced 2026 Category-Wise Qualifying Marks Rank List / Category Minimum Aggregate (out of 360) Aggregate % Minimum Per Subject (out of 120) CRL (General) 92 marks 25.56% 7.30% per subject (~9 marks) GEN-EWS Rank List 82 marks 22.78% 6.51% per subject (~8 marks) OBC-NCL Rank List 82 marks 22.78% 6.51% per subject (~8 marks) SC Rank List 46 marks 12.78% 3.65% per subject (~5 marks) ST Rank List 46 marks 12.78% 3.65% per subject (~5 marks) PwD (all categories) 46 marks 12.78% 3.65% per subject (~5 marks) Source: JEE Advanced 2026 Qualifying Marks PDF — jeeadv.ac.in A notable feature of JEE Advanced 2026: the EWS category cutoff equals the OBC-NCL cutoff at 82 marks (22.78% aggregate). In some previous years, these thresholds differed slightly. Both categories now require the same aggregate to earn a rank in their respective lists.

Always check both ranks on your rank card and use the relevant rank when filling JoSAA choices for reserved seats. JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank: Previous Year Trends Comparing marks-vs-rank data across four years reveals how paper difficulty and candidate volume shift the conversion. A score of 250 marks has produced an AIR as low as 200 in tougher years and as high as 550 in easier ones. Use this trend data to set targets for future attempts or evaluate your 2026 result in historical context. Marks (out of 360) 2023 AIR — CRL (Approx.) 2024 AIR — CRL (Approx.) 2025 AIR — CRL (Approx.) 2026 AIR — CRL (Approx.) 320–360 1–15 1–5 1–10 1–10 (AIR 1 scored 330) 300–319 15–90 5–55 10–70 10–40 280–299 90–260 55–185 75–200 40–130 (280 marks = AIR 77, confirmed) 260–279 260–560 185–440 200–470 130–300 240–259 560–1,050 440–860 470–920 300–700 220–239 1,050–2,000 860–1,700 920–1,800 700–1,500 200–219 2,000–3,500 1,700–3,100 1,800–3,200 1,500–2,800 180–199 3,500–5,800 3,100–5,100 3,200–5,400 2,800–4,800 160–179 5,800–9,000 5,100–8,000 5,400–8,300 4,800–7,500 140–159 9,000–14,500 8,000–13,000 8,300–13,500 7,500–12,500 120–139 14,500–21,000 13,000–19,000 13,500–20,000 12,500–19,000 Year-Wise Organising IIT, Topper Score, and Qualifying Cutoff Year Organising IIT Total Marks AIR 1 Score CRL Cutoff (Aggregate) Total Qualified 2023 IIT Guwahati 360 346 90 marks (25%) ~43,500 2024 IIT Madras 360 355 87 marks (24.2%) ~47,500 2025 IIT Kanpur 360 332 93 marks (25.8%) ~48,100 2026 IIT Roorkee 360 330 (Shubham Kumar) 92 marks (25.56%) 56,880 Source: JEE Advanced Official Website — Past Year Result Archives The 2026 total qualified count of 56,880 is the highest in the four-year window shown above. This means more students compete for IIT seats in 2026, compressing the bottom rank bands — but the top-200 rank band remains governed by the topper-score ceiling, which held steady at 330–355 across all four years. What is a Good Score in JEE Advanced 2026? "Good" depends on which IIT and which branch you target. Any score above 200 marks gives you access to a branch at an older IIT in the General category. 220+ marks is the practical floor for consistently strong options across old IITs — the benchmark most students use to judge a satisfying result. Score Band (out of 360) Expected AIR (CRL) What It Unlocks Verdict 280–360 1–130 IIT Bombay/Delhi/Madras — CSE, EE, Engineering Physics; complete top-IIT access Exceptional 248–279 130–500 Old IITs — all core branches; CSE at IIT Kanpur and Kharagpur Excellent 212–247 500–1,800 Old IITs — ME, Chemical, Aerospace, Civil; top new IIT branches (CSE, EE) Very Good 176–211 1,800–5,500 New/newer IITs — ME, ECE; dual-degree at old IITs in some branches Good 138–175 5,500–14,000 Newest IITs — most branches; IIEST Shibpur Average 92–137 14,000–40,000+ Very limited IIT options; niche branches only at lowest-ranked IITs Below Average for IIT For General category students targeting IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi in any core branch, 240+ marks is a realistic minimum floor for EE or ME — less than that and you are outside the safe zone for those branches. Category students should evaluate their category rank alongside the CRL rank. An SC student with 170 marks and a strong SC rank can access IIT CSE branches that a General student at 200 marks cannot reach. For OBC-NCL students, scores 15–20 marks below the General benchmarks above produce comparable branch outcomes through reserved seats. How JEE Advanced Rank is Calculated JEE Advanced 2026 assigns your AIR from the sum of your Paper 1 and Paper 2 marks — no adjustment, no normalisation, no session-wise scaling. This differs from JEE Main, where NTA’s percentile normalisation accounts for difficulty differences across multiple exam shifts. JEE Advanced has one sitting for all students, so no inter-shift adjustment is needed. JEE Advanced 2026 Marking Scheme Question Type Correct Answer Wrong Answer Unattempted Single Correct Choice (SCC) +3 −1 0 Multiple Correct Choice — fully correct +4 −2 (if no correct option is selected) 0 Multiple Correct Choice — partially correct +1 to +3 (partial credit) 0 0 Integer Type (non-negative integer answer) +4 0 0 Matching / Matrix Match Type +3 to +8 (varies by section) −1 to 0 (varies) 0 Both conditions below must be satisfied to receive a CRL rank in 2026. First, your aggregate must reach 92 marks. Second, your marks in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) across both papers combined must reach at least 7.30% of 120. A student scoring 100 aggregate but only 5 marks in Physics does not qualify — the per-subject minimum is as binding as the aggregate threshold. IIT Roorkee processes all answer sheets after the objection period closes. Marks changes from accepted objections flow into the final rank card — so the rank you see on your official rank card already incorporates all answer-key corrections. JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank: Tie-Breaking Rules When two students score the same aggregate in JEE Advanced 2026, IIT Roorkee applies a sequential tie-breaking protocol. The protocol rewards accuracy: the student who scored more marks from correct answers — before negative marking reduces the total — gets the better rank. Step Criterion Who Gets Better Rank Step 1 Higher positive marks (sum of correct-answer marks before negative deductions) Student with fewer wrong answers relative to correct ones Step 2 Higher total marks in Mathematics (Paper 1 + Paper 2) Better Maths scorer Step 3 Higher total marks in Physics (Paper 1 + Paper 2) Better Physics scorer Step 4 Higher total marks in Chemistry (Paper 1 + Paper 2) Better Chemistry scorer Step 5 Still equal after all four steps above Same rank assigned to both students Step 1 is the most impactful tie-breaker. Two students can score an identical aggregate via very different attempt patterns. Student A may have 200 positive marks and 40 negative marks (net: 160), while Student B has 175 positive marks and 15 negative marks (net: 160). Student A gets the better rank — fewer wrong answers in correct-answer volume terms. In the 220–260 mark range, where thousands of students cluster within a 5-mark band, subject-wise discipline and attempt strategy can determine hundreds of rank positions. How to Use JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank for College Selection Your marks-to-rank estimate is a planning tool, not a guarantee. Use this four-step approach to translate your 2026 rank into JoSAA strategy. Step 1 — Pin your expected AIR band from the conversion table. Use your actual marks and the marks vs rank table above. Take the pessimistic (higher) end of the AIR range as your planning baseline. This prevents banking on a better rank than is realistic at your score. Step 2 — Filter branches using JoSAA 2026 Round 4 closing ranks. For each branch and IIT you want, compare the Round 4 closing rank to your expected AIR. Branches that closed at ranks better than your AIR are solid targets. Branches that closed at your exact AIR band are stretch choices — fill them high on your preference list but treat them as a bonus, not a certainty. Step 3 — Apply your category rank for reserved seats. If you belong to OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, or PwD categories, check your category rank on your rank card separately. Category rank gives access to reserved seats at rank numbers far beyond General options. A student with CRL rank 9,000 and SC rank 180 can access branches that a General student at 9,000 cannot. Step 4 — Plan for Round 5, the final round on July 16, 2026. If you hold a current allotment, choose Float or Slide in Round 5 to upgrade to a better branch or IIT if your preferred choice opens up. Holding a safe current seat while sliding for an upgrade is the standard JoSAA strategy for maximising your outcome in the final round. The JoSAA portal at josaa.nic.in shows live opening and closing ranks for every round at no cost. You do not need a third-party predictor to evaluate your options — use the official portal data directly. JEE Advanced Marks vs Rank FAQs Ques. What is the minimum marks to get a rank in JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. For General and EWS category students, the minimum qualifying aggregate is 92 marks out of 360 (25.56%), combined with at least 7.30% marks in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics individually across both papers. OBC-NCL students need 82 marks (22.78% aggregate). SC, ST, and PwD students need 46 marks (12.78%). Both the aggregate and per-subject minimums must be met — failing either condition means no rank in that category’s list. Ques. How many marks are needed for CSE at IIT Bombay in JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. IIT Bombay BTech CSE closed at approximately AIR 68 in JoSAA 2026 Round 4 for the General category. You need roughly 302+ marks (out of 360) to be in that rank band. The confirmed data point — female topper Arohi Deshpande, 280 marks, CRL rank 77 — shows that 302+ marks places you comfortably above AIR 68. Round 5 (July 16) may adjust the final cutoff slightly. Ques. Does JEE Advanced use normalisation or percentile like JEE Main? Ans. No. JEE Advanced uses no normalisation at all. The exam runs on a single day — Paper 1 in the morning, Paper 2 in the afternoon — for all students simultaneously. Your AIR comes directly from your raw aggregate marks. JEE Main uses NTA percentile normalisation because it runs across multiple shifts over multiple days. JEE Advanced has no multi-shift structure, so no adjustment applies. Ques. Who topped JEE Advanced 2026, and what marks did they score? Ans. Shubham Kumar from the IIT Delhi zone topped JEE Advanced 2026 with 330 out of 360 marks in the CRL. Kabeer Chhillar secured AIR 2 with 329 marks, and Jatin Chahar secured AIR 3 with 319 marks. Female topper Arohi Deshpande scored 280 marks and received CRL rank 77 — the highest rank by any female candidate in 2026. Ques. What rank does 250 marks give in JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. A score of 248–264 marks in JEE Advanced 2026 corresponds to an estimated CRL AIR of approximately 200–500 for the General/EWS category. This rank band covers CSE at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee, Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, and ECE at IIT Madras — all strong options for the 250-mark student. Ques. What is the difference between CRL rank and category rank in JEE Advanced? Ans. The CRL (Common Rank List) rank is your position among all students who meet the General/EWS qualifying criteria. The category rank (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) is your position within your reservation group only. Both ranks appear on your JEE Advanced rank card. JoSAA uses your category rank to allocate reserved seats, which close at numerically higher AIR numbers than General open seats for the same branch and IIT. Ques. Is 150 marks in JEE Advanced 2026 enough for an IIT seat? Ans. Yes. 150 marks is above the General/EWS qualifying cutoff (92 marks) and places you at roughly AIR 7,500–12,500 in the CRL. At that rank, you have real options at newer IITs in branches like Civil, Metallurgy, and Mining Engineering. For OBC-NCL, SC, or ST category students, 150 marks translates to a significantly stronger category rank — often enough for CSE and EE at mid-tier IITs through reserved seats. Ques. How are ties broken in JEE Advanced 2026 when two students have the same marks? Ans. JEE Advanced 2026 applies a four-step tie-breaking sequence. First, the student with higher positive marks (correct-answer marks before negatives are subtracted) gets the better rank. If still tied, higher Mathematics score breaks the tie, then Physics, then Chemistry. If all four steps produce a tie, both students receive the same rank. Ques. How many students qualified JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. 56,880 students qualified in JEE Advanced 2026, including 10,107 female candidates. Out of 1,79,694 students who appeared in both papers, approximately 31.6% qualified — the highest total qualified count in recent years. This makes 2026 a competitive year for IIT seat allocation at the lower rank bands. Ques. Which IIT organised JEE Advanced 2026, and when was the result declared? Ans. IIT Roorkee organised JEE Advanced 2026. The exam was held on May 17, 2026, and the result was declared on June 1, 2026. IITs take turns organising the exam on a rotation basis — IIT Kanpur organised 2025, IIT Roorkee organised 2026, and the next IIT follows in the established rotation. Ques. Can I check my JEE Advanced 2026 marks and rank on the official website? Ans. Yes. Visit jeeadv.ac.in and log in with your JEE Advanced 2026 registration number and date of birth. Your rank card shows Paper 1 marks, Paper 2 marks, subject-wise marks, aggregate score, CRL rank, and any applicable category rank. The rank card has been accessible since June 1, 2026. Ques. Does JEE Advanced rank help for NIT admissions through JoSAA? Ans. No. NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seats in JoSAA use your JEE Main rank — not your JEE Advanced rank. JEE Advanced rank applies exclusively to IIT seat allocation. JoSAA processes both rank systems in the same portal, but the routing is automatic: your JEE Advanced rank drives IIT choices, and your JEE Main rank drives NIT, IIIT, and GFTI choices. Ques. What EWS category cutoff applied in JEE Advanced 2026, and how does it differ from General? Ans. The GEN-EWS rank list in 2026 required a minimum of 82 marks aggregate (22.78% of 360) — 10 marks lower than the CRL cutoff of 92 marks. EWS students compete in the CRL for open General seats. They also appear in the GEN-EWS rank list for reserved EWS seats, which close at higher (numerically larger) rank numbers than open General seats for the same branch, since the EWS pool has fewer students competing. *The article might have information for the previous academic years, which will be updated soon subject to the notification issued by the University/College.

How should I choose questions during the exam using weightage trend? Ans. Weightage trends help in smart question selection but don’t rely on it to avoid topics. Start with topics you are confident and prepared. Attempt short questions first for building up speed. Avoid lengthy calculus initially so that you don’t get distracted. Time management improves accuracy during exam time management. Ques. Does JEE Advanced repeat question patterns in Maths? Ans. Exact questions are not repeated, but question patterns definitely repeat based on previous year papers. Same concepts are tested differently by different patterns. As per analysis, similar calculus models appear yearly. Paper has geometry questions that follows fixed question structures. PYQs help identify exam paper analysis and patterns. Practicing patterns saves time and increases accuracy. JEE Advanced Mathematics Syllabus 2026: Important Books However, when it comes to Mathematics preparation for JEE Advanced, NCERT by itself is not sufficient. Students should refer to standard reference books that define concepts thoroughly with examples so that students are exposed to practice problems relevant to JEE. Selection of reference books plays a significant role in developing accuracy, speed, and problem-solving skills.

Note: The response sheet is accessible only through login. There is no direct, open-access PDF link; every student has a unique response sheet. You can download your response sheet by using your application number and password. How to Use Response Sheet with Answer Key The response sheet alone will not tell you your score. You need to pair it with the JEE Advanced Provisional Answer Key (releasing May 25, 2026) to estimate your marks. Follow these steps carefully: Download your response sheet: Available from May 21 at jeeadv.ac.in. Download the provisional answer key: Available from May 25. Wait for the official key; do not rely on unofficial keys for final calculation. Note the Question IDs: Your response sheet lists each question by its Question ID. The answer key also uses the same Question IDs. Match Option IDs: For each Question ID, check whether the Option ID on your response sheet matches the correct Option ID in the answer key. Apply the marking scheme: Use the section-wise marking rules to add or deduct marks for each answer. Sum up your scores: Calculate your total for Paper 1 and Paper 2 separately, then add them for your overall expected score. Use the final answer key for your actual score: Always use the final answer key with your response sheet, not the provisional one, for your definitive score estimate. Pro tip: Create a simple spreadsheet with columns for Question ID, Your Option ID, Correct Option ID, and Marks Awarded. This makes the cross-check much faster and error-free. Related Links: How to Calculate JEE Advanced marks from Answer key JEE Advanced 2026 Score Calculator: Calculate Marks using Response Sheet URL JEE Advanced College Predictor 2026: Predict Your IIT Admission Chances based on JEE Rank How to Calculate Score from Response Sheet JEE Advanced 2026 has a complex, section-wise marking scheme where the marking rules vary by question type. The total marks for both papers combined is 360 (180 per paper), with 60 marks each for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics per paper. The marking scheme is released on the day of the exam and is printed in the official question paper. Always refer to the official scheme for your year. Based on the 2025 paper pattern (as a reference for estimation), the likely structure is: Question Type Correct Answer Incorrect Answer Unattempted Single Correct MCQ (SCQ) +3 −1 0 Multiple Correct MCQ (MCQ) +4 (all correct); partial marks for subset −2 (if any wrong option selected) 0 Numerical Answer Type (Integer) +4 0 (no negative marking) 0 Match the Column / Matrix Match +3 per correct row −1 per wrong row 0 Important: The actual marking scheme for 2026 will be confirmed only via the official question paper and the JEE Advanced 2026 answer key released at jeeadv.ac.in. The above is based on recent year trends and is for reference only. Score Calculation Example Suppose in Paper 1, Physics section, you attempted 5 questions with these results: Q. No. Type Your Answer Correct Answer Marks Q1 SCQ Option B Option B ✓ +3 Q2 SCQ Option A Option C ✗ −1 Q3 MCQ Options A, B Options A, B, C (partial correct) +2 (partial) Q4 Numerical 42 42 ✓ +4 Q5 Numerical 15 18 ✗ 0 Total for these 5 questions = +3 − 1 + 2 + 4 + 0 = 8 marks Repeat this process for all questions across both papers and both subjects to arrive at your expected total score.

The table below shows the year-wise total IIT seat count from 2021 to 2025, helping you understand the expansion trend for 2026. Year Conducting IIT Total IIT Seats Year-on-Year Change 2026 IIT Roorkee 18,200–18,500 (Expected) +200–400 (minor increase expected) 2025 IIT Kanpur 18,160 +116 seats (+IIT Bhilai +46, IIT Delhi +30, etc.) 2024 IIT Madras 17,740 +1,000+ over 2023 2023 IIT Guwahati 16,598 Moderate increase 2022 IIT Kharagpur 16,000 Increase after COVID disruption years 2021 IIT Kharagpur 15,500 Base level The total number of IIT seats has grown by approximately 17% over the last 5 years — from around 15,500 in 2021 to 18,160 in 2025. This growth is driven by expansion at newer IITs (Bhilai, Dharwad, Goa, Jammu, Palakkad, Tirupati) and addition of new programs (AI, Data Science, Design, Integrated Circuits) at older IITs. For 2026, a minor increase of around 200–400 seats is expected.

How many total seats are available through JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. JEE Advanced 2026 is expected to offer approximately 17,760–18,200 seats across 23 IITs. The official seat matrix will be released on josaa.nic.in after the JEE Advanced 2026 result on June 1, 2026. Ques. Which IIT has the most seats? Ans. IIT Kharagpur has the highest seat count among all IITs with approximately 1,899 seats in 2025, making it the largest IIT by intake. It is followed by IIT BHU Varanasi (1,589), IIT Bombay (1,368), and IIT Roorkee (1,353). Ques. Which IIT has the fewest seats? Ans. IIT Goa has the fewest seats among the 23 IITs with approximately 157 seats in 2025. Other newer IITs like IIT Dharwad (187), IIT Palakkad (200), and IIT Bhilai (200) also have relatively small intakes but are expanding every year. Ques. How many CSE seats are available across all IITs? Ans. The total CSE seats across all 23 IITs in 2024 was approximately 1,928. IIT Bombay CSE has around 80 seats, IIT Delhi CSE has around 85 seats, and IIT Kanpur CSE has around 95 seats. CSE is the most competitive branch due to very high demand and limited supply. Ques. What is the reservation breakdown for IIT seats? Ans. IIT seats are reserved as follows: Open (General) 40.5%, OBC-NCL 27%, EWS 10%, SC 15%, ST 7.5%. PwD reservation is horizontal at 5% within each category. Female supernumerary seats (up to 20% extra) are additional and do not cut into any category's seats. Ques. When will the JEE Advanced 2026 seat matrix be released? Ans. The official JEE Advanced 2026 seat matrix will be released by JoSAA at josaa.nic.in after the JEE Advanced result on June 1, 2026. Counselling registration begins June 2, 2026, and the seat matrix is typically published at the same time. Ques. Are female supernumerary seats separate from the regular seat count? Ans. Yes. Female supernumerary seats are additional seats above the base count — they do not reduce seats for male students. IITs offer up to 20% extra seats exclusively for female students to improve gender diversity. These seats are distributed across all categories (Open, OBC, SC, ST, EWS). Ques. Can NRI students get IIT seats through JEE Advanced 2026? Ans. Yes. NRI, OCI, and PIO students who qualify JEE Advanced 2026 are eligible for up to 10% supernumerary NRI quota seats at each IIT through JoSAA counselling. Foreign nationals who have not written JEE Advanced can apply through DASA (dasanit.org) using SAT scores. Ques. How does the seat matrix affect JEE Advanced cutoff? Ans. Fewer seats in a branch leads to a lower closing rank and a tighter cutoff. For example, IIT Bombay CSE with 32 Open seats closes around AIR 67 — while a branch with 150+ Open seats at the same IIT may close at AIR 800+. When planning your JoSAA choices, always check the seat count alongside previous year cutoffs. Ques. Do new IITs have lower cutoffs despite fewer seats? Ans. Generally yes. Newer IITs (established post-2008) like IIT Goa, IIT Bhilai, IIT Dharwad, and IIT Palakkad have lower demand relative to their seat count — so closing ranks are typically much higher (looser) than older IITs. If you aim for CSE at a newer IIT, your closing rank in 2025 ranged between around 4,000–8,000 in the General category depending on the specific IIT. Ques. Will IIT seats increase in 2026 compared to 2025? Ans. Yes, a minor increase is expected. In 2025, total IIT seats grew by 116 compared to 2024. For 2026, newer IITs are likely to add more seats and new programs (especially in AI, Data Science, and interdisciplinary engineering), while some older IITs may also expand specific branches. The official count will be confirmed in the JoSAA 2026 seat matrix.
