Engineering Entrance Exam

120 marks in JEE Main correspond to the following percentiles across categories:
 
- General Category: ~92-96 percentile
- OBC-NCL/EWS: ~90-95 percentile; qualifying cutoff is lower for these categories
- SC/ST: ~70-80 percentile (Qualifying cut-off is much lower as compared to General)

The cutoff ranges are approximate and could change every year based on the paper's difficulty level and the performance of the candidates. Always refer to the official results for exact details specific to your attempt!

UPVOTE if u find it helpfull.

There is no such thing as fixed passing marks out of 300 in JEE Main. Instead, qualification is dependent upon the cutoff percentile, which keeps varying year-wise based on variables like difficulty of the exam, the number of candidates appearing for it, and available seats.

For the general category, the cutoff percentile ranges approximately 88-90 and thus marks to score around 70-90 marks. In reserved categories, cutoff is much lower, thereby easy qualification.

These cutoffs determine eligibility for JEE Advanced and admissions to top colleges. Always check the official cutoff for the year you are appearing to stay updated.
