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.
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 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:
- Rank List Publication - IIT Roorkee publishes the CRL and category-wise rank lists.
- JoSAA Registration - Qualified candidates register at josaa.nic.in for centralized counselling.
- Choice Filling & Locking - Candidates fill their preferred IIT + branch combinations.
- Mock Seat Allotment - A practice round is conducted before the actual allotment.
- Seat Allotment Rounds - Multiple rounds of seat allotment happen (typically 6 rounds).
- Seat Acceptance - Candidates pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm their seat.
- Document Verification & Reporting - Candidates report to the allotted institute with original documents.
JEE Advanced Cut-Off 2026 – Conclusion
JEE Advanced Cut-Off 2026 has been officially released by IIT Roorkee. The General (CRL) category requires 92 total marks (25.56%), OBC-NCL/EWS needs 82 marks, and SC/ST/PwD candidates need a minimum of 46 marks. Compared to previous years, the 2026 cut-off is moderate. However, clearing the qualifying cut-off alone does not guarantee IIT admission - final seat allotment depends on JoSAA Counselling 2026 closing ranks. Register promptly at josaa.nic.in.
