IIT Madras had organized the JEE Advanced 2024 examination this year. This year the cutoff for unreserved category in JEE Main 2024 was 93.2362181, which is the highest compared to last year. A total of 97,351 students cleared the qualifying cut-off this year. Only the top 2.5 lakh candidates of JEE Main 2024 were eligible for JEE Advanced 2024.

Only students who qualify JEE Advanced exam will be able to participate in JOSAA Counseling and get admission in B.Tech courses from all the IITs of the country.

According to the candidates participating in this examination, this time Paper 2 of JEE Advanced 2024 is more tough than Paper 1. The Physics section in JEE Advanced Paper 1 has been more difficult than other sections. Many students have described the Mathematics section in Paper 2 as challenging. However, the question papers of the exam were Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Section Questions (MSQs) and Numerical Based Questions. In such a situation, there may be a slight reduction in the cutoff. Last year the minimum marks for candidates to qualify JEE Advanced exam was 86, which this time it could possibly be 85 to 90.

This time the cutoff of General-EWS was 75 to 80 whereas in the year 2023 it was 77. For SC category candidates, the cutoff is likely to be 45 to 50, whereas in 2023 it was 43.
