The cutoff marks required for B.Tech in India can vary greatly depending on several factors including:-
Entrance exam:- The main entrance exams for B.Tech in India are JEE Main and JEE Advanced. The cutoff marks for these exams will differ based on the exam itself the specific engineering discipline you're interested in and the category you belong to (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.).
College/university:- Different colleges and universities have their own cutoff marks for B.Tech admissions even if they consider the same entrance exam scores. This is because they may have different reservation policies, seat availability and academic requirements.
State domicile:- Some states have domicile reservations for B.Tech admissions in government colleges, which means that students from that state have a higher chance of getting admission with lower cutoff marks compared to out of state students.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the cutoff marks for B.Tech in India:-
JEE Main:-
General Category:- The cutoff marks for JEE Main for General category students typically range between 90 and 100 percentile.
OBC Category:- The cutoff marks for JEE Main for OBC category students are usually around 10-15 percentile lower than the General category cutoff.
SC/ST Category:- The cutoff marks for JEE Main for SC/ST category students are significantly lower than the General category cutoff often around 40-50 percentile.
JEE Advanced:-
General Category:- The cutoff marks for JEE Advanced for General category students are much higher than those for JEE Main typically around 200-250 marks out of 360.
OBC/SC/ST Category:- The cutoff marks for JEE Advanced for OBC, SC and ST category students are also lower than the General category cutoff but not as significantly as in JEE Main.
State level Engineering Exams:-
Many states in India have their own engineering entrance exams such as MHT CET (Maharashtra), KCET (Karnataka), Andhra Pradesh EAMCET (Andhra Pradesh) etc. The cutoff marks for these exams vary depending on the state and the specific exam.
Other factors:-
Reservation policies:- Some colleges and universities may have additional reservation policies for specific categories such as children of defense personnel or sportspersons. This can also affect the cutoff marks.
Seat availability:- The number of seats available for a particular B.Tech programme can also impact the cutoff marks. If there are fewer seats available the cutoff marks will be higher.
I hope this information helps!
I would also recommend that you research the specific colleges and universities you're interested in to find out their individual cutoff marks and admission requirements. You can usually find this information on the college's page or by contacting the admissions office directly.
