JEE Advanced 2026 Qualifying Marks

JEE Advanced qualifying marks are the minimum marks needed to be included in the rank list. Candidates usually need to clear both aggregate and subject-wise requirements. Clearing the qualifying cutoff means you can receive a rank, but it does not guarantee admission to an IIT branch.

For counselling, compare your actual rank with JoSAA opening and closing ranks. A candidate just above the qualifying marks may still need to consider newer IITs, less competitive branches, preparatory courses or non-IIT options depending on category and seat availability.
