According to experts—which includes IIT alumnus Sandeep Mehta, co-founder of Vidyamandir Classes—this year’s JEE Main cut-off is expected to be slightly higher due to increased applicant participation and previous trends. Here are the expected cutoffs based on different expert analyses:

Competishun’s Mohit Tyagi anticipates that the general category cutoff will increase from last year's 90.7788642 to around 92.19 this year, whereas OBC-NCL contenders are speculated to have a cutoff in the range of 77.67 percentile.
Contrary to the general consensus about the qualifiers, PhysicsWallah analyses suggest that the minimum qualifying score (cut-off) for JEE Advanced 2025 is estimated to be:
Category
Minimum Required Marks
General
86
EWS
84
OBC
82
SC
60
PwD
0.0018
Factors Affecting Cut-off
The JEE Main cut off marks are subject to a number of determinants including:
- Total number of registrants (candidates) for the exam
- The relative challenge (difficulty) of the exam
- General ranking performance of the students class in the exam
Criteria from class 12 board examination
A student has to satisfy the eligibility conditions for their respective Class 12 board examinations which include a minimum of 75% overall for General and OBC students and 65% for SC, ST and PwD.
According to Nitin Vijay the founder and CEO of Motion Education, these have risen slightly, so the predictions for cut-offs this year are:
General 95+
EWS 85+
OBC-NCL 83+
SC 65+
ST 50+
All candidates are recommended to frequently check the official JEE Main portal for relevant updates and announcements for these changes.
