dear aspirant,
It is essential for the candidates to have qualified JEE Main 2020 (Paper 1) and be among the top 2,50,000 (including all categories) candidates. Among the top 250,000 JEE Main qualified candidates, the categories will be divided as follows:
-
GEN-EWS - 10%
-
OBC-NCL - 27%
-
SC - 15%
-
ST - 7.5%
-
OPEN - 40.5%
-
PwD - 5% horizontal reservation in all above.
hope it helped.
Hello,
If you come under creamy layer then you are considered as general category candidate. NTA has published JEE Main 2020 official cut off and the cut off for general category is 90.3765335 percentile and 72.8887969 percentile for OBC-NCL category. We assume that 71 is your percentile. As per the minimum cut off percentile you have not qualified in JEE Main so you cannot appear in JEE Advanced.
