And JEE Main cut off is yet to be announced.Candidates must qualify in order to appear in JEE Advanced.Scoring 85 percentile or above may give you decent chances of qualifying JEE Main so with 90 percentile or above you may qualify JEE Main.

After students complete their bachelor's degree, we take them in ISRO and then they get an opportunity to do the master's degree at appropriate time maybe two or three years later. We encourage them not only those who are coming from IIST, those who are joining from elsewhere we encourage them to do the master's degree and if they are very keen to do the doctoral degree we encourage them to do that also. There are a number of scientists and engineers who have done the masters and  doctoral degree and they have contributed very well to the entire program.

Mains marks has nothing to do with this. JEE advance marks are considered for the admission in IIST.

Basically Advance question pattern is not fixes so i am considering previous year cutoffs with previous year pattern.

For general category you need a minimum of 35% in JEE advance to get Aerospace or Electronics and Communication.

If you are from ST category then you can get at 11% of jee advance.
