Reports differ on the subject-wise minimums and on the preparatory figure, so check the official result notice for exact values.

Qualifying cutoff versus JoSAA closing ranks

Qualifying means you are in the rank list. A seat depends on the opening and closing ranks of each programme in JoSAA, which are published round by round. The closing rank is the last rank allotted in that round for that category and quota. Do not read it as a guarantee for the next year, since ranks move with seats and paper difficulty.

AAT cutoff

The Joint Implementation Committee decides the AAT passing marks. Candidates above it are declared PASS, with no ranking; B.Arch seats are allotted by JEE Advanced category rank.
