As analyzed from the previous cutoff trends, JEE Main OBC Category Expected Cutoff 2024 is elaborated here. The cutoffs for the past four years are also given.
JEE Main OBC Category Expected Cutoff 2024: JEE Main category-wise cutoff is dependent on several external factors like the total number of applicants in that category, the difficulty level of the exam, and the total number of seats available for that category. JEE Main 2024 OBC category cutoff will be lower than the general category but higher than SC/ST and it is likely to vary between 72 to 75 percentile.

As per the report, the number of test takers for session 1 JEE Main 2024 is more than the previous year’s total number of unique test takers in both sessions. Hence, the cutoff is likely to increase.
