JEE Main 2026 Paper 2 Cutoff: Key Insights

According to previous years' trends, students can expect the normal gaps between Home State and other state candidate admission. 

Here are some key observations as per the JoSAA previous year's counseling:  

  • Competition after seat registration may get stricter for Other State (OS) candidates at NIT Rourkela. Students will need lower ranks as compared to Home State (HS) students.

  • Category-wise distribution of ranks may also determine the round-wise difficulty. The SC category (both HS and OS) is completely frozen after Round-1, reflecting high seat reservation and zero vacancy.

  • In the previous year's trend, the HS-OPEN category observed a major rank jump in Round 6 (from 1223 to 1621), opening last-minute opportunities for higher mark holders. 

  • For specific categories like EWS and ST, admissions are done within Rounds 1 and 2. There are only few exceptions in later rounds.
