JEE Main

You need to score minimum above 180 to get NIT.

You can appear for some private or autonomous universities to seek admission for engineering degrees, beside JEE. You can appear for entrance examination of BITS - Pilani, VIT, SRM, Manipal University, etc. to get admission in a decent engineering college. You can also appear for state engineering entrance examination to get admission in good engineering college.

Hello Anam,
JEE Mains cut-off will be announced simultaneously with results. So, you have to wait till then. Last year's cut-off was 100 marks for general category students. It could be similar this year too.
However, if you were seeking information about how much to score in JEE Advanced for admission in IIT then answer will be different.
For IIT-K, you need to be in 90 percentile bracket to get admission
Best wishes.

Hello Anam,
It is considered enough, if you get around 250 to 280 marks to get admission in NIT. There are lot of NITs offering variety of courses, and if you want to get a particular course in a particular NIT, then you have to get a better score.

Hello Amey,
Admissions to VJTI are based in MH-CET and not on JEE Mains, as some people are thinking. Earlier once when MH CET was not conducted in that marks of JEE Mains and 12th marks were added in some ratio to form a merit list for admissions. However, since MH CET is going to be conducted this year, JEE Mains has no relevance.

Hello Sonu,
Unfortunately, in Maharashtra, except IIT M and NIT in Nagpur, all other colleges have to use MHT CET. Hence score in JEE Mains is of no use. All colleges, private, deemed universities, government, etc. have to admit students based on their rank in MHT CET. So, if you are interested then you will have to appear in this exam.

Hello Sarat,
It's a query in a minefield. Rank is dependent on how many students have scored more than you. How many marks you have scored does not matter at all. Therefore, the question posed these days is what percentile I should have to get admission in a particular institute. I suppose with the talent available, you will need to score more than 325 out of 360 to be in top 100.

Hello Aashish,
This statistics is perhaps not available. However, last year out of 12 lakh students who appeared for JEE Mains, about 1.5 lakhs were above cutoff announced. In fact, cut off is announced keeping in mind the seat availability in IITs vis-a-vis number of students to be allowed to appear for JEE Advanced.

Hello Saurabh,
You have asked an existential question. Answer unfortunately is straight forward no. Other institutions which take score from JEE Mains do accept lower scores, but these too have already been announced. You definitely need to score 75% or more in your boards to get into IITs.
