Hello,
If you have answered only 24 correct answers then your total positive score is 96. But since there is negative marking in the JEE Mains Examination, 1 marks will be deducted for every wrong response.
So you have a total of 51 wrong responses.
So your overall score is ------ 96 - 51 = 45
Now, According to previous year data Cut off for various categories is as following -
• General - 87.8992241
• Gen-EWS - 66.2214845
• Other backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 68.0234447
• Scheduled Caste (SC) - 46.8825338
• Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 34.6728999
• PwD - 0.0096375
------- This cut off changes every year depending upon certain factors such as toughness of examination, total number of students attempting the exam etc.
