IIT JAM 2026 cutoff: What candidates must know
Qualifying cutoffs vary by subject (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biotechnology, etc.) and by category (GEN, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD). Cutoffs are usually given as minimum marks or percentiles needed to be eligible for admission.
Final admission depends on your JAM score, rank, and the institute/program preferences you list during counselling. Seat acceptance follows the official counselling and seat allotment process managed through the JAM counselling portal.
