📉 Expected Cut-Off Trends for 2025
Category‑wise Expected Percentiles:
| Category | Expected Percentile |
|---|---|
| General | 92–100 |
| OBC‑NCL | 83–85 |
| EWS | 85–85 |
| SC | 60–67 |
| ST | 50–51 |
Experts predict a slightly higher cut-off this year, especially in the General category, due to a moderately challenging paper.
🧠 Why Percentile Matters
The percentile measures how you performed against all candidates.
- 95 percentile means you performed better than 95% of candidates.
- Cut-off percentiles determine JEE Advanced eligibility and NIT admissions.
