Top 20 Percentile Cutoff Marks for IIT, IIIT, NIT, CFTI Admission 2025: To gain admission to top engineering institutions in India such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs, candidates must fulfill specific eligibility criteria. One of the key requirements is scoring at least 75% marks in their Class 12 Board Examinationsor being among the top 20 percentile of successful candidates from their respective boards. This "top 20 percentile" criterion is important for aspirants, as it offers an alternative path to eligibility if the 75% aggregate is not met.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the category-wise top 20 percentile cutoff marks for various Class 12 Boards annually. These cutoff scores vary across different examination boards due to variations in their marking schemes. For instance, the General category cutoff for CBSE in 2025 is 419, while for the Andhra Pradesh Board, it's 475. These cutoffs are determined based on the candidates’ performance across five subjects namely Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, a language, and any other subject with the highest marks.

What are Top 20 Percentile Cutoff Marks for IIT, IIIT, NIT, & CFTI Admission?
The term "Top 20 Percentile" is a statistical measure. It means that a candidate's Class 12 board examination score is higher than 20% of all qualified candidates in their specific board. This is different from simply scoring 20% marks. This requirement ensures that candidates admitted to these top institutions have strong academic performance relative to their peers
The cutoff scores for the Top 20 Percentile are board-wise and category-wise. This means the specific marks required will differ for each board (e.g., CBSE, Bihar Board, UP Board) and for each category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD). If a board does not provide this data, the CBSE cutoff marks are typically used as a default.

Key Points Regarding Board-Wise Top 20 Percentile Cutoff 2025
The Board-Wise Class 12 Top 20 Percentile Cutoff 2025 has been released by JoSAA. These cutoffs are required for determining candidates’ eligibility for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. Candidates should carefully check the marks for their respective boards and categories.
- Variability: The cutoff marks vary significantly across different state and national boards due to differing grading systems and performance levels.
- Five Subjects: The calculation of the top 20 percentile is based on the marks obtained in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, a language, and the subject with the highest marks among the remaining.
- Default for Non-Reporting Boards: If a board does not provide its top 20 percentilecutoff, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) cutoff marks are used as a standard for candidates from that board.
- PwD Category: For Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates, the cutoff marks are typically set at the lowest of the cutoffs for the General, GEN-EWS, OBC, SC, and ST categories for that particular board.
- Importance for Admissions: Meeting this requirement is important for admission to these prestigious institutions, alongside qualifying in JEE Main 2025 and/or JEE Advanced 2025.
Final Thoughts
The "Top 20 Percentile Cutoff Marks" is an essential eligibility criteria for students aspiring to join IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. These board-specific and category-wise cutoffs for 2025, released by JoSAA, offer a clear benchmark for academic performance. Understanding these cutoffs and the subjects considered is essential for all candidates. It provides an alternative pathway to secure admission for those who might not meet the 75% aggregate marks in their Class 12 board exams, ensuring a broad and fair selection process.
