Cutoffs

A cutoff on these pages means the official qualifying mark that the exam body publishes, not the closing rank of a college. The guides give the 2026 qualifying marks for JEE (Main), JEE (Advanced) and NEET (UG) by category, name the notice each figure comes from, and explain why the mark moves every year. Admission cutoffs are a separate thing: they differ by college, category and counselling round.

Key facts

  • A cutoff here means the official qualifying mark, not an admission cutoff. In 2026, open-category candidates needed the 93.4123549 percentile in JEE (Main) to sit JEE (Advanced), 92 out of 360 in JEE (Advanced) for a rank, and 213 out of 720 to qualify in the NEET re-exam.
