This year, a total of 179694 candidates appeared in both papers 1 and 2 in JEE (Advanced) 2026, held on 17th May 2026. In this exam, 56880 candidates have qualified. Out of the total qualified candidates, 10107 are female candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only students who have cleared the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff will be eligible to be mentioned in the JEE Advanced rank list. Before we find out the JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff, let us understand the difference between the qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff. The JEE Advanced 2026 paper was successfully conducted on May 17, 2026. Matrix JEE experts have done a detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matrixedu.in\/blog\/jee-advanced-paper-analysis-2\/\">JEE Advanced 2026 paper analysis<\/a> of both paper 1 and paper 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameters<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Qualifying Cutoff<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Admission Cutoff<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What it is<\/td><td>Minimum marks to enter the rank list<\/td><td>Opening &amp; closing ranks for IIT seat allotment<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Released by<\/td><td>IIT Roorkee with the result<\/td><td>JoSAA after each counselling round<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>When released<\/td><td>June 1, 2026 (with result)<\/td><td>June 2026 onwards (during JoSAA)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Who it affects<\/td><td>All appearing candidates<\/td><td>Rank holders filling seat preferences<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Example (General 2025)<\/td><td>93 out of 360 (aggregate)<\/td><td>CSE IIT Bombay closing rank: 64<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the JEE Advanced 2026 Qualifying Cutoff?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff is the minimum marks that students are supposed to clear to get into the rank list. It is the minimum percentage of marks a student must secure in physics, chemistry and mathematics, and also the aggregate, to be included in CRL, which is the common rank list. The qualifying cutoff is to score at least 25.56% in aggregate (general category). To be eligible for the JEE Advanced exam, students are required to clear certain JEE Main 2026 qualifying cut-offs. Below is the JEE Main 2026 qualifying cutoff to be eligible for JEE Advanced:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category \/ Rank List<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Percentage in Each Subject<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Aggregate Percentage<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Aggregate Marks (Out of 360)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Common Rank List (CRL)<\/td><td>7.30%<\/td><td>25.56%<\/td><td>92<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL Rank List<\/td><td>6.51%<\/td><td>22.78%<\/td><td>82<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS Rank List<\/td><td>6.51%<\/td><td>22.78%<\/td><td>82<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CRL-PwD Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL-PwD Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS-PwD Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC-PwD Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST-PwD Rank List<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><td>46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preparatory Course (PC) Rank List<\/td><td>1.83%<\/td><td>6.39%<\/td><td>23<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the official data released by IIT Roorkee, here is the category-wise cutoff. Students should note that clearing the qualifying cut-off and getting included in the rank list does not guarantee a seat in IIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>General (CRL):<\/strong> Minimum 25.56% aggregate (92 marks out of 360)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>OBC-NCL:<\/strong> Minimum 22.78% aggregate (82 marks out of 360)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>GEN-EWS:<\/strong> Minimum 22.78% aggregate (82 marks out of 360)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>SC \/ ST \/ PwD Categories:<\/strong> Minimum 12.78% aggregate (46 marks out of 360)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Preparatory Course (PC):<\/strong> Minimum 6.39% aggregate (23 marks out of 360)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students should note that they must clear both the subject-wise and aggregate cutoffs to be included in the respective rank list. Securing the qualifying cutoff only makes a candidate eligible for ranking and counselling; admission to IITs depends on the final rank obtained and seat allocation during JoSAA counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the JEE Advanced 2026 Admission Cutoff?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced 2026 admission cutoff is the opening and closing ranks that students are required to meet for IITs. Students who meet the rank requirements for the IIT they want can choose to apply for JoSAA counselling. The opening rank means the first rank where the student will be considered for the IIT, and the closing rank indicates the last rank admitted in that round. Unlike the qualifying cutoff, which only determines whether a student is included in the rank list, the admission cutoff decides the actual chances of getting a seat in an IIT. Multiple factors affect the admission cutoff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Difficulty level of JEE Advanced 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Number of qualified candidates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Seat availability in IITs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Category-wise reservation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Popularity of branches like CSE, AI, Electronics, and Mathematics &amp; Computing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Previous year closing ranks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are targeting the top IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Madras, the closing ranks are the highest, and competition is intensive, especially for the CSE branch. In 2025, the closing rank for IIT Bombay for the general category was AIR 64.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JEE Advanced 2026 Official Cutoff Marks \u2013 Category-Wise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the past year&#8217;s IIT JEE Advanced cutoff trends, Matrix JEE experts have estimated the expected cutoff for this year. Once the results are out, the official cut off will be released and updated in this section. A safe score would be around 93 marks for the JEE Advanced 2026 exam. The table below has category-wise JEE Advanced 2026 cutoffs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Aggregate Marks (Out of 360)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Aggregate Percentage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>General (CRL)<\/td><td>92<\/td><td>25.56%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL<\/td><td>82<\/td><td>22.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS<\/td><td>82<\/td><td>22.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CRL-PwD<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL-PwD<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS-PwD<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC-PwD<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST-PwD<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>12.78%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preparatory Course (PC)<\/td><td>23<\/td><td>6.39%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Official Percentage-Wise Cutoff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>General (CRL):<\/strong> 25.56% aggregate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>OBC-NCL:<\/strong> 22.78% aggregate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>GEN-EWS:<\/strong> 22.78% aggregate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>SC \/ ST \/ PwD:<\/strong> 12.78% aggregate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Preparatory Course (PC):<\/strong> 6.39% aggregate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general category cutoff has slightly decreased from 93 marks in 2025 to 92 marks in 2026. Candidates must note that qualifying marks alone are not sufficient for admission to IITs. Final admission depends on rank secured, category, branch preferences, and seat availability during JoSAA counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JEE Advanced 2026 Subject-Wise Minimum Cutoff Marks Per Subject<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced exam has 2 papers \u2013 Paper 1 and Paper 2. Students have to clear the overall cutoff for both papers, but also individual subject cutoffs as well. The total marks are 360, and they must clear the subject-wise minimum marks as well. Failing even one subject means no rank, regardless of aggregate marks. The table below shows the expected subject-wise minimums for each category:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Marks in Each Subject<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Percentage in Each Subject<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>General (CRL)<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>7.30%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>6.51%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>6.51%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CRL-PwD<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OBC-NCL-PwD<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEN-EWS-PwD<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SC-PwD<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST-PwD<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3.65%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preparatory Course (PC)<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>1.83%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These marks represent the minimum performance required across Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics combined over both Paper 1 and Paper 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JEE Advanced Cutoff Year-Wise Trends 2019 to 2026 \u2013 Analysis &amp; Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff of the past years&#8217; trends is in the table below from the years 2019-2025. Tracking the historical cutoff is the most reliable way to estimate where the 2026 cutoff will land. The table below shows the general category qualifying cutoff from the year 2019 to 2025. In 2020, the cutoff was 69 due to the paper being unusually difficult, but the structure remained the same. Looking at how the trends have changed over time, it can be expected that the cutoff range for JEE Advanced 2026 is 93-96 marks. The cutoff will be lower in case the 2026 paper turns out to be very difficult and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total Marks<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cutoff (General)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cutoff %<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2019<\/td><td>372<\/td><td>89<\/td><td>23.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2020<\/td><td>396<\/td><td>69<\/td><td>17.4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2021<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>87.5<\/td><td>24.3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2022<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>88.5<\/td><td>24.6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>90<\/td><td>25.0%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2024<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>94<\/td><td>26.1%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2025<\/td><td>360<\/td><td>93<\/td><td>25.8%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JEE Advanced 2026 Rank vs Marks (General &amp; Category-Wise Breakdown)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced result includes the final rank of the student based on their total marks.

Hence, the cutoff is not fixed and is volatile with respect to multiple factors. Here are the major factors that impact the cutoff greatly. We will analyse what factors affected this year once the official cutoff is released by IIT Roorkee on June 1, 2026:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Paper difficulty level<\/strong> \u2013 The difficulty level of the paper impacts the cutoff hugely. The easier the paper, the higher the cutoff, whereas if the 2026 paper is difficult, the lower the cutoff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Number of registered candidates<\/strong> \u2013 the higher the number of candidates who appear for the exam, the tougher the competition will be, which can push the cutoff to decrease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Performance of the top 2.5 lakh qualifiers \u2013 <\/strong>The cutoff is set relative to how the qualifying pool performs, not the entire candidate base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Paper pattern and marking scheme<\/strong> \u2013 Any changes in the JEE Advanced paper pattern, total marks and marking scheme can impact the cutoff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>IIT seat matrix \u2013 <\/strong>If there are any changes in the reserved category seats across all IITs, then there will be changes in the overall cutoff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JEE Advanced Cutoff for Top IIT Branches (Past Year Trends)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the official 2026 opening and closing ranks will only be available after JoSAA counselling, the past year&#8217;s closing ranks are provided in the table below. The cutoffs for the most chosen branches or specialisations are taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Branch<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>IIT<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Closing Rank (General, 2025)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Bombay<\/td><td>66<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Delhi<\/td><td>115<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Madras<\/td><td>160<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Kanpur<\/td><td>280<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Electrical Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Bombay<\/td><td>433<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mechanical Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Bombay<\/td><td>1,779<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Roorkee<\/td><td>505<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Civil Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Delhi<\/td><td>2,700<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chemical Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Madras<\/td><td>1,900<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Metallurgical Engineering<\/td><td>IIT Bombay<\/td><td>4,119<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT (BHU) Varanasi<\/td><td>2,950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer Science &amp; Engineering<\/td><td>IIT (ISM) Dhanbad<\/td><td>4,300<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These figures shift by 5\u201315% each year, depending on student preferences, new branch introductions, and lateral shifts in demand.

Candidates who meet the qualifying cutoff will be included in the JEE Advanced 2026 rank list and become eligible to participate in JoSAA counselling. However, qualifying the exam does not automatically guarantee admission to an IIT. The final seat allotment depends on factors such as All India Rank (AIR), category, preferred IITs and branches, seat availability, and JoSAA counselling rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the cutoff announcement, students should carefully analyse previous years\u2019 opening and closing ranks, shortlist realistic IIT and branch options, and prepare all required documents for counselling and admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Check whether your aggregate and subject-wise marks meet the qualifying cutoff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Download the JEE Advanced 2026 scorecard and rank card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Analyse expected IITs and branches based on your AIR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Register for JoSAA 2026 counselling within the given deadline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Fill and lock college choices carefully according to preference order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Keep documents ready for verification and seat acceptance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Track every JoSAA counselling round for seat allotment updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Consider backup options such as NITs, IIITs, or IISc if IIT admission looks difficult.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Use previous-year cutoff trends to make smarter counselling decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Avoid filling only dream colleges; include safe and moderate options as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff for the general category is 92 marks out of 360, which is roughly one quarter of the total paper, based on the official date. That number has held remarkably steady since 2022, and unless the May 17 paper is significantly harder or easier than recent years. The official JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff is released by IIT Roorkee on June 1, 2026, at jeeadv.ac.in along with the result and rank list. Qualified candidates can now immediately register for JoSAA 2026 counselling, which begins June 2, 2026, and make smart, realistic college and branch choices based on their AIR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829857066\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the cutoff for JEE Advanced 2026?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff for the General (CRL) category is 92 marks out of 360, based on official JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff data released by IIT Roorkee. For OBC-NCL, the cutoff is 82 marks. For SC, ST, and PwD, it is 46 marks. The official cutoff has been released by IIT Roorkee on June 1, 2026, at jeeadv.ac.in, along with the results.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829871992\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff for general category students?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For General category (CRL) students, the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cut-off is 92 marks out of 360, which is approximately 26\u201327% of the total marks. In addition to the aggregate, general category students must also score a minimum of 7.30% marks in each subject individually, that is, at least 8 marks out of 120 in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829885668\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced 2026?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff is the minimum marks a candidate must score to be included in the rank list. It has two conditions that must both be met, which are a minimum aggregate score (92 marks for the general category) and a minimum subject-wise score in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics independently. A student who clears the aggregate but fails the subject minimum in even one subject will not receive a rank.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829894630\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is a safe score in JEE Advanced 2026?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A score of 120\u2013130 marks out of 360 is generally considered safe to clear the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff for the General category, giving you a rank in the 7,000\u201311,000 range. However, a safe score also depends entirely on your target. For CSE at IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi, you need 250+ marks. For mid-tier IIT branches, 150\u2013180 marks is a more realistic target. A score of 93\u201396 marks just clears the cutoff but places you around rank 16,000\u201318,000.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829906968\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the difference between the JEE Advanced qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The qualifying cutoff is the minimum marks required to enter the JEE Advanced rank list. It is released by IIT Roorkee on June 1, 2026, along with the result. Clearing it means you get an all-India rank, but it does not guarantee an IIT seat. The admission cutoff is the opening and closing rank for each IIT branch, released by JoSAA during counselling rounds from June 2, 2026 onwards. Your AIR must fall within a branch&#8217;s closing rank to get that seat. Both cutoffs are independent of each other, and clearing one does not guarantee the other.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829917964\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>When will the official JEE Advanced 2026 release?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The official JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff has been released by IIT Roorkee on June 1, 2026, along with the results at jeeadv.ac.in. Before that, the provisional answer key was released on May 25, 2026, which helped candidates to estimate their scores and raise objections if needed. The JoSAA admission cutoffs, which include the opening and closing ranks for each IIT branch, will be released progressively during counselling rounds beginning June 2, 2026, at <a href=\"http:\/\/josaa.nic.in\">josaa.nic.in<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829926652\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff for JoSAA counselling?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To participate in JoSAA 2026 counselling for IIT seats, a candidate must first clear the JEE Advanced 2026 qualifying cutoff and appear in the rank list. There is no separate cutoff for JoSAA registration. Qualifying JEE Advanced is the only requirement to register. However, the actual IIT branch a student gets depends on their AIR and the closing rank for that branch in each JoSAA round. JoSAA 2026 counselling begins on June 2, 2026 at josaa.nic.in.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829936105\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff for IIT Bombay CSE?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The official JEE Advanced 2026 admission cutoff for CSE at IIT Bombay will be released during JoSAA 2026 counselling in June. Based on 2025 data, the General category closing rank for CSE at IIT Bombay was 66. This has remained consistently below 100 for the General category in recent years. To target CSE at IIT Bombay, candidates typically need to score 280 or more marks out of 360, which places them in the top 100 ranks nationally.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1778829946253\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is there any subject-wise JEE Advanced cutoff?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, and this is one of the most overlooked aspects of JEE Advanced. Candidates must score a minimum percentage of marks in each subject separately, which includes Physics, Chemistry, and mathematics, in addition to clearing the overall aggregate cutoff. For the General category, this minimum is 7.30% per subject, which is 8 marks out of 120 per subject. For SC, ST, and PwD candidates, it is 5% per subject, which is approximately 8 marks out of 120. Failing to clear the subject-wise minimum in even one subject means the candidate will not be included in any rank list, regardless of how well they scored in the other two subjects or in the aggregate overall.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780664473169\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">W<strong>hat is the time per question in JEE Advanced 2026?<\/strong> <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">With 48 questions per paper and a 3-hour (180-minute) time limit, the average time available per question is 3.75 minutes. However, since different question types (integer, MCQ, passage) take varying amounts of time, it is recommended to follow a strategic attempt order rather than going question by question.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff is the minimum marks a candidate must score to be included in the IIT JEE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":13582,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jee-advanced"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>JEE Advanced 2026 Cutoff | Wise Qualifying Marks, Rank Analysis<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check JEE Advanced 2026 expected cutoff category-wise for General, OBC, SC, ST &amp; EWS.
