Are you dreaming of getting into an IIT? Well, the latest JEE Advanced 2025 results have some interesting surprises! Let's dive into the details of who got in and what scores it took this year.
The Surprising Cut-offs
Hold onto your hats, because the cut-offs this year might shock you! According to the Joint Implementation Committee (JIC) report:
- A boy with just 92 marks out of 360 (25.55%) got an IIT seat
- A girl with 80 marks (22.22%) also secured admission
- Some reserved category students got in with as low as 37 marks (10.28%)
Isn't that mind-blowing? It shows how fierce the competition was this year!
Breaking it Down by Category
Let's look at the lowest scores that got students into IITs across different categories:
| Category | Boys (Marks) | Girls (Marks) |
|---|---|---|
| General | 92 (25.55%) | 80 (22.22%) |
| EWS | 78 (24.67%) | 78 (21.67%) |
| OBC | 74 (20.55%) | 66 (18.33%) |
| SC | 46 (12.78%) | 43 (11.94%) |
| ST | 41 (11.39%) | 37 (10.28%) |
Remember, these are the lowest scores that got in. Most students scored much higher!
More Seats Than Expected
Here's another twist - 28 more students got admitted than the official seat matrix! How did that happen?
- Total seats across 23 IITs: 18,160
- Actual admissions: 18,188
Education expert Dev Sharma explains this happened due to supernumerary seats for defence personnel, foreign quotas, and minimum cut-off categories.
Which IITs Admitted Extra Students?
Some IITs went above their seat count:
- IIT Kanpur: +5 seats
- IIT Bombay & Kharagpur: +4 seats each
- IIT Madras, Roorkee & Dhanbad: +3 seats each
- IIT Delhi & Bhilai: +2 seats each
- IIT Hyderabad, Tirupati & Dharwad: +1 seat each
Interestingly, IIT BHU Varanasi admitted one less student than its allocated seats.
What Does This Mean for Future JEE Aspirants?
If you're aiming for JEE Advanced next year, here are some takeaways:
- Every mark counts: Even a few marks can make a huge difference in your rank and admission chances.
- Don't lose hope: Lower cut-offs mean more opportunities for students who might have missed out in previous years.
- Category matters: Understanding the cut-offs for your specific category can help set realistic goals.
- Prepare for a tough paper: The 2025 exam was considered more difficult than previous years, so be ready for challenges!
Remember, these results don't mean the exam is getting easier. The lower cut-offs are likely due to the increased difficulty of the paper. Keep working hard, stay focused, and who knows? You might be celebrating your IIT admission next year!
Good luck to all future JEE aspirants! With the right preparation and determination, your IIT dreams can come true.
