Hi,
Marks you need to score in JEE MAIN to qualify for JEE ADVANCE is given as follows :
General category:
Marks between 100 to 120 would be enough to somehow clear the cutoff.
OBC category:
Between 60 to 80 would make you eligible for ADVANCE.
SC/ST category:
You just need marks between 40–60 to clear the cut-off for ADVANCE.
There is no fixed score for cutoff but the range is around 80 to 130.
But for a good JEE Main rank (less than or around 10k) you need to get at least 180+ marks (cutoff being less than 120 marks)
Now, about JEE Advance.
For a good rank in JEE Advanced, you need to score at least 40% of the max marks (240 out of 400). Though this completely depends on the stream that you choose the approximate range is around 1–4.5k for IIT's.
B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
