Gurukripa JEE expert said that according to this rule, the candidate should have more than 10 percent marks in each subject of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, while all the three subjects taken together should have more than 35 percent marks. The subject percentage wise cut off is 10% marks and overall cutoff is 35% for general category candidates. The cutoff for EWS and OBC is 9 and 31.5 percent, while the cutoff for SC, ST and PWD candidates is only 5 and 17.5 percent. 1.6 lakh students had registered for JEE Advanced exam in the year 2022.
