To be eligible for JEE Advanced, SC candidates must meet the qualifying cutoff percentile set by NTA for JEE Main. If your total score of 55.096 percentile is above the official SC cutoff, you can register for JEE Advanced. However, if it is below the cutoff, you won’t be eligible. Check the official cutoff on the JEE Main website once released. If eligible, complete the registration within the given timeframe. Keep an eye on official updates to avoid missing deadlines.

First of all congratulations on scoring 55.096 marks in your JEE Main examination. As a candidate belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category, your eligibility for the JEE Advanced exam depends on the qualifying cutoff marks, which can vary each year based on factors like exam difficulty and the number of candidates.

In previous years, the cutoff for SC candidates has been around 60 marks. For instance, in 2024, the cutoff was 60.09 marks.

Given that your score is slightly below this threshold, it is possible that you may not meet the qualifying criteria for JEE Advanced this year.

However, cutoff trends can change annually. I recommend checking the official JEE Main website or contacting the examination authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the current year's cutoff.
