The JEE Mains cut off 2026 will be announced by the NTA after both sessions of the exam are completed. The first session of JEE Main 2026 is expected to begin on January 21, with exams scheduled to continue on January 22, 23, 27, 28, and 29. The second session will be held from April 3 to April 9, with registrations for Session 2 starting on January 30, 2026. The cut-off for JEE Advanced and the Session 2 results will be released in April/May 2026.
The JEE Main cut off is the minimum score or percentile a candidate must achieve to qualify for JEE Advanced or for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JoSAA counselling. JEE Main has two types of cut-offs: Qualifying Cut Off and Admission Cut Off. The qualifying cut-off, released by NTA, determines eligibility for JEE Advanced. The admission cut-off, released by JoSAA, specifies the minimum rank required for admission to specific colleges and branches.
In 2024, the NTA announced two cut-offs for JEE Main: one after Session 1 and one after Session 2, along with the final results. For JEE Advanced 2024, the qualifying cut-off for the General category was 93.2, while for OBC-NCL it was 79.67, for SC it was 60.09, for ST it was 44.30, and for PwD it was 0.0013.
The JEE Main 2026 Qualifying Cut Off (expected) for the General category is expected to be around 90–95 percentile. This article provides in-depth information about JEE Mains Cut Off 2026, including category-wise cut-offs, previous year trends, and the factors that determine the cut-off.

JEE Main Cut Off for IITs 2024
JEE Main serves as the qualifying exam for JEE Advanced, which is the gateway for admission to IITs. Unlike NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, IITs do not use JEE Main scores directly for admissions. Instead, they use JEE Advanced scores. The table below shows the JEE Advanced 2024 closing rank for select programs at top IITs:

Factors Affecting JEE Main Cut Off 2026
The following factors play a key role in determining the JEE Main 2026 cut-off:
Number of Candidates: A higher number of test-takers increases competition and may raise the cut-off.
Difficulty Level of the Exam: A tougher exam leads to lower scores, potentially lowering the cut-off.
Seat Availability: More seats available can lower the cut-off, while fewer seats increase competition.
Previous Year Trends: Cut-offs are influenced by historical data, giving insights into future cut-offs.
Normalisation Process: NTA applies normalisation across sessions to ensure fairness, which can slightly adjust the cut-off.
How to Prepare for JEE Main 2026
Here are some tips to help you prepare for JEE Main 2026:
Understand the Syllabus: Know the complete JEE Main syllabus and focus on high-weightage topics like Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Organic Chemistry, and Algebra.
Practice Mock Tests: Regularly attempt JEE Main question papers and sample papers to improve speed and accuracy.
Revise Formulas and Concepts: Create a formula sheet and revise it regularly, especially a week before the exam.
Focus on NCERT: NCERT books are the foundation for JEE Main, especially for Chemistry.
Time Management: Practice solving papers within the stipulated time to improve time management during the actual exam.
