JEE Adv 2025 – Know the Cut-Off, Rank & Category-Wise Possibilities for Admission in IITs

JEE Advanced 2025 Result will be Announced on 2 June

Every year, lakhs of students appear for JEE Advanced to get admission in the prestigious IITs of the country. But this question is in the mind of every student – after all, how many marks can be obtained to get the last branch of IIT?

In this blog, we tell you on the basis of last year’s JoSAA counseling data, at what cut-off in 2025 you can get the last branch of the last IIT, that too category wise.

Does counseling eligibility alone get you into IIT?

First of all, it is important to understand that IIT only releases minimum marks and subject-wise cut-off for counseling eligibility, and not guarantee admission.

Many students clear the cut-off, but are unable to get a college because seat allocation in IIT is based on rank, not just eligibility.
