JEE Advanced 2023 Cut Off (Qualifying Marks)
In 2023, the qualifying marks for the exam were not only subdivided into separate minimum marks but also minimum marks for aggregate. The minimum subject and aggregate marks were further divided to approve a candidate to be ranked and called for counseling and admission.
Every year, the cutoff marks take into account the level of difficulty of the exam, student performance in the exam, and competition — so candidates should aim high, far in excess of the bare minimum, if they intend to secure a seat at a top IIT.
