JEE Advanced Score — Calculations & Slabs for FY 2026-27

In multi-correct MCQs, if you mark all correct options, you get +4 marks. If you mark only a subset of correct options and no incorrect options, you get partial marks: +3 if there are 4 correct options and you mark 3; +2 if there are 3 or more correct options and you mark 2; +1 if there are 2 or more correct options and you mark 1. If you mark any incorrect option, you receive -2 marks.

The total marks for JEE Advanced varies slightly each year as decided by the organizing IIT. Typically, the exam consists of two papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2) of 180 marks each, making the grand total 360 marks. Each paper contains Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics sections of 60 marks each.

To be included in the rank list, candidates must meet both subject-wise and aggregate percentage cutoffs. For General category: 7.30% per subject (~9 marks) and 25.56% aggregate (~92 marks). For OBC/EWS: 6.51% per subject (~8 marks) and 22.78% aggregate (~82 marks). For SC/ST/PwD: 3.65% per subject (~4 marks) and 12.78% aggregate (~46 marks).

Yes, both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory and carry equal weightage. Your final JEE Advanced rank is calculated based on the sum of marks obtained in both papers across all three subjects. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.
