Some Important Notes for the Students

NITs and IITs are inarguably the best engineering institutes in India. The entrance tests, therefore, are designed to sieve the best of the talents. As a result, the qualification marks for JEE Mains are pretty tough to achieve. In 2022, almost ten lakh students appeared for the JEE Mains, and a majority of them could not clear the qualifying percentile for JEE Mains 2022. But they should not be depressed because those who could not secure the top ranks can also get admission to other premium engineering colleges. For example, candidates clearing the IIT cutoff JEE Mains can get admission into the IIITs and get a B.Tech in IT.  

Conclusion

Candidates should prepare best for JEE Mains, but they must not get stressed. Often, stress and anxiety are not conducive to focus and performance. Therefore, we recommend you learn a few ways to tackle exam stress. If you do not score the highest, you can still get admission to top colleges.

FAQs - JEE Main Cutoff

Is 75 a good score in JEE Mains?

If you belong to the unreserved category, you may not get admission into NITs and IITs by scoring 75 percentile in JEE Mains. However, there are many other colleges, both state-run and private, that can give you admission into their engineering programmes. But if you belong to the reserved category, scoring 75 percentile in JEE Mains can get you admission to some of the top institutes in India. 

What is the minimum rank for NIT?

If you score less than 10000 in JEE Main, it will be nearly impossible to get admission into NITs.
