JEE Main OBC Category Cutoff Trends: In January, many candidates registered and took the JEE Main exam, with the highest number coming from the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category. This increase suggests that the cutoff for the upcoming JEE Advanced 2025 may rise to above 80 percentile for OBC candidates. Looking at trends from previous years, we can expect the 2024 cutoff to continue this upward trend, similar to the 6% increase seen in 2023. In that year, the cutoff rose by 6 percentiles, reflecting a positive change compared to the lowest cutoff in 2022. In 2021, the cutoff dropped by 4 percentiles from the previous year, while 2020 had a slight rise of 2 percentiles over 2019.
60,000 Rank in JEE Mains 2025 Percentile and Marks: 60,000 rank in the JEE Mains exam is not so considered as a good rank and it is very difficult for the general category candidates to secure a seat in the NITs. Nonetheless, the reserved category can take admission to the NITs in the branches like Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or in any other non-CS branches with 60,000 rank. Also, some IIITs might be accessible for the candidates with this specific rank. Candidates who will obtain 141+ marks in easy paper, 129+ marks in medium paper and 107.5+ marks in tough paper, can expect to secure 60,000 rank in the JEE Mains 2025 exam.

The downward trend continued in 2021 with a decline of 4 percentiles compared to the previous year. In 2020, there was a larger drop of 8 percentiles from 2019. These changes highlight the evolving nature of the EWS category and the need for strategic improvements going forward.
89 Percentile in JEE Main 2025 Marks and Rank: Achieving a percentile of 89 in the JEE Main 2025 exam is considered average, making it unlikely for candidates to gain admission to prestigious NITs or IIITs.

Specific mark targets for the 89 percentile are approximately 94.1 marks for easy-level papers, 82.6 for medium-level, and 67 for tough-level papers.
