For almost every 12th pass student in PCM subjects, it is a dream to get admission in India’s top engineering and architectural colleges to pursue courses in the desired branch. JEE Main or the Joint Entrance Examination fulfils this dream of students. The exam is conducted every year by CBSE to offer admissions in various engineering and technology institutions across the country. Based on JEE Main result and score, students are given admission in prestigious participating colleges like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and several government-funded technical institutions.

What is JEE Main Cut-off?

CBSE considers a variety of factors before announcing a cut-off every year. This refers to the minimum score that will be required to be eligible to seek admission in any of the participating colleges. CBSE considers factors like the number of students appearing in JEE Main, the difficulty level of the exam, the number of seats available for allocation, cut-offs for previous years, etc. Based on the scores of students in paper 1 and 2, the cut-off is declared. For all students who do well in JEE Main result and score higher than the cut-off, the limited number of seats available in top engineering colleges wait for occupation.

Important Points about JEE Main Result and Admissions

• The rank card for JEE Main 2020 will be announced by June end.
• From this year onward, the class 12 marks will not be considered while calculating the All India Ranks of students in JEE Main exam. Thus, CBSE will have a new method of rounding off the rankings.
• The JEE Main result and score will only be available online for viewing and download, and you will not be sent any document with regard to it.
• If you have to seek admission in IITs, then you will have to score high marks in JEE Main, so that you may get into the merit list to be finalised for appearing in the JEE Advanced exam. Your JEE Advanced score will make you eligible for IIT admissions.
• The counselling for JEE Main and JEE Advanced will be held together by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). You will need to register for counselling online and provide your institute and branch preferences for JoSAA’s consideration towards seat allotment.
