The National Testing Agency (NTA) held the first session of JEE Main 2024 from January 24 to February 1. The JEE Main 2024 cut-off will be the determining factor for the eligibility to register for JEE Advanced and admission to the IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs and other-GFTIs. JEE cut-offs depend on various factors, including the number of total candidates, availability of seats at participating institutions, previous year’s trends and the difficulty level of the exam.

According to Saurabh Kumar, chief academic officer of Vidyamandir Classes, the expected cut-off for JEE Main 2024 session 1 will vary category-wise and will be as follows:

– General: 89.75

– EWS: 78.21

– OBC: 74.31

– SC: 44

– PWD: 0.11

According to Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya, going by the difficulty level of the multiple shifts of the exam, the 99.5 percentile score will hover around 184 to 200. Here is a detailed percentile and marks required.

According to data shared by NTA, 95.8 per cent of the registered candidates appeared for paper 1 (BE / BTech) in the JEE Main January 2024 exam. This is one of the highest percentages of attendance for JEE Main since NTA has started conducting JEE Main examination, NTA said. Out of the 12,21,615 candidates registering for JEE Main paper 1, as many as 11,70,036 candidates appeared. The JEE Main session 1 BArch paper was taken by 55,493 candidates out of the total 74,002 registered candidates.
