Table of Contents

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2025 is being conducted in two sessions this year, and the result of Session 2 is expected in the first week of May 2025. With lakhs of candidates having appeared for the examination across India, the focus now shifts to the expected cutoff percentile, category-wise qualification trends, and eligibility for JEE Advanced.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will release the official cutoff for JEE Main 2025 on its portal jeemain.nta.nic.in along with the result declaration. Until then, we provide a detailed prediction based on historical data from 2019 to 2024.

Expected JEE Main Cutoff Percentile 2025 (Category-Wise)

Based on the exam difficulty and candidate trends, the following is the expected cutoff percentile for JEE Mains Result 2025:

Only candidates who meet or exceed the cutoff percentile will qualify to appear for JEE Advanced 2025, which is the entrance exam for IITs.

Factors That Determine JEE Main Cutoff

The JEE Main cutoff percentile is not a fixed score and varies each year based on the following:

1. Total number of candidates appearing in both sessions
2. Difficulty level of the examination papers
3. Category-wise seat allocation in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs
4. Performance trends of students across categories
5. Normalization process to maintain fairness across shifts

The NTA applies a percentile-based scoring system which ensures that scores are adjusted based on relative performance, not absolute marks.

Score vs Percentile vs Rank in JEE Mains Result 2025

A student’s raw score is converted into a percentile through a normalization process. Based on this percentile, an All India Rank (AIR) is assigned.

Here’s a simplified reference:

This is an estimate and final rank depends on overall performance and percentile across both sessions.

JEE Mains 2025: Tools for Post-Result Planning

After the result declaration, students can use the following tools:

• JEE Rank Predictor 2025: Estimate your AIR using marks and percentile
• College Predictor: Find out which NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs you qualify for
• Marks vs Percentile Calculator: Convert your raw score into percentile

These tools help students strategize counselling and applications effectively.

Who Qualifies for JEE Advanced 2025?

Only candidates who:

• Secure the minimum cutoff percentile, and
• Rank among the top 2.5 lakh (approx.) across all categories

…will be eligible to register for JEE Advanced 2025.

JEE Advanced is the exclusive gateway to admission in IITs, and will be conducted in June 2025. The exact date will be announced post-JEE Main results.

What If You Don’t Meet the JEE Advanced Cutoff?

Not qualifying for JEE Advanced doesn’t mean the end of the road. Candidates can still:

• Apply to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs using their JEE Main score
• Explore state-level engineering entrance exams like MHT CET, WBJEE, COMEDK
• Consider private universities accepting JEE Mains score, e.g., Amrita, Shiv Nadar, VIT (for select seats)

A decent JEE Mains percentile can still secure admission into top engineering branches at premier institutions across India.
