Cut Offs for the JEE
According to an announcement, class 12th marks will be used only as
cut off to screen the students for eligibility for admissions to the
IITs. Only the candidates who are in the top 20 percentile of their
respective boards will be eligible. The merit list will be decided after
the results of the JEE Advanced are published. This exam will be on a
different day from the JEE main. The JEE Main is a common entrance test
that will short-list top 1.5 lakh students who will be eligible to
appear for the JEE advanced.
Hence, according to the new format, students will have to perform
well in their class 12 exams as well. This process is put in place to
cater to the increasing competition for the limited number of seats in
the IITs in the country. Coaching centers are mushrooming in every part
of the country and enabling students to get selected in the most
prestigious engineering institution.

Taking into
consideration last year's statistics to predict this year's results, one
can see that a CBSE student will need at least 78% to be in the top 20
percentile, of the UP board requires 65-66% and Tamilnadu board around
78%. Cut offs for the other boards are listed below:
For General Category Candidates :
CBSE : 77.8%
Tamil Nadu Board : 78.1%
