JEE 2021 Cut-off

JEE – Joint Entrance Exam is a computer-based exam conducted annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA). On the basis of marks scored in this exam, admissions are provided in IITs and NITs.

In this article, we will discuss the JEE Main cut off marks for this year in various categories.

JEE Exam Pattern

JEE is divided into two parts:

  1. JEE Main 
  2. JEE Advanced

JEE Mains acts as a qualifying exam for JEE advanced, which means those students who score above the cut-off marks of JEE Mains will be allowed to appear in JEE Advanced. This year despite pandemic and other chaos, JEE mains was conducted in 4 sessions. Recently NTA has released the result of JEE main 2021. 

Following are the categories of the exam:

Scheduled Caste (SC) 46.8825338
Scheduled Tribe (ST) 34.6728999
PWD 00.0096375

 

The cut-off marks of previous years’ JEE Main Exam are:

 

Year General EWS OBC SC ST
2020 90.3765335 70.2435518 72.8887969 50.1760245 39.0696101

It is evident from the above tables that the cut-off this year has been relaxed as compared to the previous two years. The primary reason for this relaxation this year would be the pandemic; this relaxation indeed is very much justified.

Not many people know that after scoring above the Cut-off marks of JEE advanced, you have to go through a counselling process. 

This counselling process is conducted by JOSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) to get admissions into IITs, NITs, and GFTIs. JOSAA’s counselling process is a multi-stepped process that includes registration, choice filling, locking choices, seat allotment, and seat acceptance fee payment. We will try to get a brief idea about the counselling process and the institutes participating in this process. 

The table below shows the number of institutes participating in the counselling process:

Let’s discuss the step-by-step process of counselling:

  1. Registration: This step involves verification of details mentioned in the JEE main application form. Students can register themselves through the official website JOSAA. The login credentials would include JEE main application form and password of that particular year.
  2. Choice Filling: In this step, the candidate has to choose their preferred institute and courses. Choosing multiple institutes and courses increases the chances of admission.
  3. Mock Seat Allotment and Locking of Choices: This step aims to help students know their chances of getting admissions into their preferred list. Candidates are allowed to change their preferences after mock allotment.
  4. Final seat Allotment: JOSAA conducts seven rounds of seat allotment. Allotments are done based on merit, category, selected preferences, and availability of seats.
  5. Payment/charges of seat acceptance fee: Candidates who will be allotted seats will be required to pay a seat acceptance fee through e-challan or net banking. This FEE varies according to the category of the candidate.
  6. Document Verification: After accepting seats, candidates will be required to carry particularly mentioned documents at designated centres set up by JOSAA.

Final Thoughts

Given the importance of this exam, it is a dream of many students to clear this exam and get admission in IITs, NITs, or other prestigious institutes. It’s disheartening to hear news of suicides and depressed children in case of failure in these exams. One needs to tell the future aspirants that exams will never end and that no single test can determine your future. Also, how to handle failure and how to cope up with stress should be part of the school curriculum.
