Why is JEE Main Cutoff 2019 Important

by Neha Kaul Student

Joint Entrance Exam or JEE Main 2019 is a National Level entrance examination. Due to this reason, thousands of students every year from all around India participate in this examination. Since there are limited seats, it is the duty of the exam conducting body to select the best out of those many students. For this purpose, National Testing Agency (NTA) which is also the exam conducting body declares a cutoff range to select the most deserving student for the admission. This cutoff is calculated on the basis of the marks obtained by all the students. JEE Main Cutoff 2019 will only include the Cutoff for JEE Main 2019 and not for JEE Advanced 2019. We will provide you the complete information on how the Cutoff is decided. The Cutoff is calculated after the examination is over and the results are declared. The Cutoff will be calculated on the average of the marks obtained by each qualifying student. If your marks satisfy the announced Cutoff then you’ll be called to complete the admission process. Students whose marks could not match the Cutoff will not be eligible to get admission.
