The JEE Advanced Cut-Off 2026 is officially published by IIT Roorkee on the official website of JEE Advanced – jeeadv.ac.in. The result is also published. The minimum marks for appearing in the JEE Advanced rank list, after which the candidates will be declared as cut-off, are called the cut-off marks. The candidates who get marks equal to or more than the cut-off marks will be considered eligible for admission to the IITs and other participating institutes through JoSAA Counselling 2026.

JEE Advanced Cut-Off 2026

The JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cut-off is category-wise, which includes General (CRL), OBC-NCL, GEN-EWS, SC, ST, and PwD. The basic criteria for candidates to qualify for the General category is to get 35% marks (10% in each subject and 35% overall), SC/ST/PwD category candidates will have to get 17.5% marks (10% in each subject and 35% overall) and OBC-NCL/EWS category candidates will have to get 31.5% marks (10% in each subject and 35% overall), as per the official brochure.

Important: The qualifying cut-off is different from the JEE Advanced IIT admission cut-off. The qualifying cut-off decides who makes it to the rank list, while the admission cut-off (closing rank) is set individually by each IIT for each branch during JoSAA counselling.

Factors That Determine JEE Advanced Cut-Off

The JEE Advanced cut-off is not fixed - it changes every year based on several important factors. Understanding these factors can help candidates predict cut-off trends for future years.

  • Number of candidates appearing - A higher number of test-takers generally increases competition and may raise the cut-off.
  • Difficulty level of the paper - If the paper is tougher than usual, the cut-off tends to be lower, and vice versa.
  • Total marks of the exam - Changes in marking scheme or total marks directly affect cut-off figures.
  • Number of seats available — More seats can lead to a lower cut-off; fewer seats push the cut-off higher.
  • Previous year cut-off trends — Authorities consider historical data while setting the cut-off.
  • Category-wise reservation norms — Each category (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) has its own cut-off based on government reservation policies.

JEE Advanced Cut-Off Trend - Year-Wise Comparison (CRL General Category)

The table below gives a quick overview of how the General (CRL) category cut-off has changed over the years:

Year Minimum Marks Per Subject Minimum Total Marks Conducting IIT
2026 8 92 IIT Roorkee
2025 7 74 IIT Kanpur
2024 10 109 IIT Madras
2023 8 86 IIT Guwahati
2022 5 55 IIT Bombay
2021 6 63 IIT Kharagpur

The cut-off varies because the total marks of the paper change every year. Always compare percentage of marks rather than absolute numbers for a fair comparison.

JEE Advanced Cut-Off vs JEE Main Cut-Off - Key Difference

Many candidates confuse the JEE Advanced cut-off with the JEE Main cut-off. Here is a clear distinction:

Parameter JEE Main Cut-Off JEE Advanced Cut-Off
Purpose Qualify for JEE Advanced Qualify for IIT admission (rank list)
Released by NTA Conducting IIT
Based on JEE Main scores JEE Advanced scores
Type Percentile-based Marks-based (subject + overall)
Used for Entry into JEE Advanced Entry into IIT via JoSAA
  • JEE Main 2026 cut-off for General category: 93.2 percentile (approx.)
  • JEE Advanced 2026 cut-off for General (CRL): 92 marks (25.56% of total)

What Happens After Clearing the JEE Advanced Cut-Off?

Clearing the JEE Advanced qualifying cut-off means a candidate's name appears in the rank list (CRL or category-specific). However, clearing the cut-off alone does not guarantee IIT admission. Here is what happens next:

  1. Rank List Publication - IIT Roorkee publishes the CRL and category-wise rank lists.
  2. JoSAA Registration - Qualified candidates register at josaa.nic.in for centralized counselling.
  3. Choice Filling & Locking - Candidates fill their preferred IIT + branch combinations.
  4. Mock Seat Allotment - A practice round is conducted before the actual allotment.
  5. Seat Allotment Rounds - Multiple rounds of seat allotment happen (typically 6 rounds).
  6. Seat Acceptance - Candidates pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm their seat.
  7. Document Verification & Reporting - Candidates report to the allotted institute with original documents.
