Joint Entrance Examination Advanced Cut Off

What is JEE Advanced Cutoff 2026?

The JEE Advanced cutoff 2026 will be released after the JEE Advanced result is declared on June 01, 2026. The cutoff is divided into two parts: Qualifying Cutoff and Admission Cutoff.

  • Qualifying Cutoff: This is the minimum aggregate and subject-wise marks required to be included in the rank list. It will be released by the conducting IIT on the JEE Advanced official website, jeeadv.ac.in.
  • Admission Cutoff: This cutoff secures a candidate a seat in an IIT. It will be released by JoSAA after each round of counselling on its official website, josaa.nic.in.

Only candidates who appear for both paper 1 and paper 2 will be considered for ranking. The rank lists will be prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE Advanced.

Key Summary

  • Only those candidates who appear for both paper 1 and paper 2 will be considered for ranking.
  • The aggregate marks obtained will be the sum of marks awarded to the candidate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
  • For general EWS candidates, 31.5% is the minimum percentage of aggregate marks as given in the information brochure.
  • The rank lists will be prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE Advanced.
  • For SC/ST/PwD candidates, 17.5% is the minimum percentage of aggregate marks as given in the information brochure.

Expected Qualifying Cutoff for 2026

For 2026, the minimum aggregate marks expected for general category candidates are around 85-95. For SC/ST categories, the expected aggregate marks will likely be between 40-50.

JoSAA Counselling Cutoff

The admission cutoff will be released by JoSAA after each round of counselling. The cutoff for each IIT and branch is released on the JoSAA official website.

In 2025, CSE was the most competitive branch. The last round closing rank for the general category was 66 in IIT Bombay and 126 in IIT Delhi.

How is JEE Advanced Cutoff Calculated?

The cutoff is calculated based on the aggregate marks obtained by candidates. The aggregate marks are the sum of marks awarded in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

The qualifying cutoff makes students eligible for the rank list. The admission cutoff is determined after each round of JoSAA counselling.

Factors Influencing JEE Advanced Cutoff 2026

The cutoff depends on several factors, including the number of candidates appearing, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of seats available. The previous year's cutoff trends also play a role.

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.

Safe Score for Top 1,000 Rank

The safe score depends on the difficulty level of the paper. Based on past year trends, a safe score of 220-280+ will likely be required for a top 1,000 rank in JEE Advanced 2026.

  • In a tough paper year, the safe score can be lower, around 180-190.
  • For easier papers, the safe score can increase to around 230-250.

Qualifying JEE Advanced and IIT Seat Guarantee

Qualifying JEE Advanced only guarantees a rank, not a seat. Seat allotment depends on your rank, choices filled, category, and seat availability during JoSAA counselling.

Importance of Subject-Wise Minimum Marks

Subject-wise minimum marks are extremely important. Even if a candidate's aggregate score is high, failing to secure minimum marks in any subject leads to disqualification.

Cutoff Variation Across Programs

Cutoffs are different for all programs. Top branches such as CSE and AI/Data Science are more competitive and require top ranks, while less popular branches like Civil Engineering and Metallurgy have more relaxed cutoffs.

Female-Only and Supernumerary Seats

Yes, female-only and supernumerary seats have a separate pool of seats. Closing ranks for female candidates are usually relaxed, improving opportunities for girls.
