What minimum marks do I need to score in JEE Mains and JEE advanced in order to get admission in IIT?

Marks and cutoffs of JEE Advanced changes every year. No one accurately tells you exactly what marks you should secure to get in IITs but yes we can predict an approximate value after analyzing the previous year data. What I have experienced, that you should score 35% to 40% (range) of the total marks minimum to be an IITian.

Hello Riyaz, Most of the aspirants are in the dilemma, whether they will get a seat or not. How much paper they should attempt? How to judge whether the paper is tough or not and so many other similar questions. What I have been telling all my students is a simple mantra. Think as if you have to attempt any one of the two consecutive questions. That means you need to attempt around 50% of the paper. Even if you can get around 40 % overall marks you should be able to score around 2500 rank which is a very decent rank for someone who is not sure whether he will get a seat or not. Therefore, just try to attempt 50%, stay calm, give your best and you will surely get a decent rank in JEE Advanced. Firstly, I would tell you about the JEE Advanced because it creates the main difference. For general category, around 50 % marks will get you some decent branch. If you want to take CSE in old IITs then you should score around 70% marks.

Hi There, This is a very important question which every aspirant should know an answer to, if he is not sure of getting a seat in IIT. Unlike top rankers, most of the aspirants are in the dilemma, whether they will get a seat or not. How much paper they should attempt? How to judge whether the paper is tough or not and so many other similar questions. What I have been telling all my students is a simple mantra. Think as if you have to attempt any one of the two consecutive questions. That means you need to attempt around 50% of the paper. Even if you can get around 40 % overall marks you should be able to score around 2500 rank which is a very decent rank for someone who is not sure whether he will get a seat or not. Therefore, just try to attempt 50%, stay calm, give your best and you will surely get a decent rank in JEE Advanced. Firstly, I would tell you about the JEE Advanced because it creates the main difference. For general category, around 50 % marks will get you some decent branch. If you want to take CSE in old IITs you should score around 70 % marks. For electrical, ECE and other top branches,60% will be good enough. And if you want to get into a decent IIT with a decent branch, you should score at least 50%.
