JEE Main Cutoff for admission to Participating institutes

Candidates must note the qualifying cutoff is different from the cutoff released by JoSAA for admission to participating institutes – NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. For example, the qualifying cutoff is only restricted to determining the eligibility of the candidate as far as appearing in JEE Advanced is concerned.

On the other hand, the admission cutoff will be institute and subject-specific and determine whether the candidate will get admission at any of the participating institutes. If the candidate scores a rank equal to or above the cutoff rank, the candidate will be considered for seat allotment. Otherwise the candidate will be disqualified.
