Durgesh Mangeshkar, the founder director at IITians Prashikshan Kendra, said, “This time they have declared a category-wise cut-off percentile. The cut-off score for open category is 89.75 percentile. This corresponds to 95-105 marks out of 360 in various slots of JEE Mains in January and April. The cut-off, therefore, has increased in marks terms as compared to the last year’s, but is similar to 2016 JEE Mains level.”
Vaibhav Bakliwal of Bakliwal Tutorials also said that the cut-off would be around 90 out of 360 for the general category. “Last year it was 74, but this year the papers were comparatively easier, and the two examinations must have also helped students in doing better. Hence, the scores have increased. Around 1,500 students from Pune must have cleared JEE mains as that is the score most years.”
Experts said the opportunity to repeat the exam had been a boon for students. “Considering the two JEE Mains paper in 2019, most of the students have shown marked improvement in their April attempt.,” said Pritam Sengupta, the owner of Adhyayan Institute.
