Minimum marks in JEE Advanced to get IIT for general
For General category students, you need at least 35% of the total marks (around 74–75 out of 360) and at least 10% in each subject to qualify for the JEE Advanced rank list. But qualifying alone does not mean you will get an IIT seat. Admission depends on your rank in JoSAA counselling, and usually much higher marks are needed.
