IIT JEE 2008 Cutoff  


The IIT-JEE 2008 paper was held today ie. on 13th April 2008. I have gone over both the paper and after analyzing them I have come to the conclusion that JEE this year was difficult than last year. The questions were trickier and hence paper was lengthier. So although cutoffs will dip this year don’t expect them to dip too much. You can check the solutions to IIT JEE 2008.

In 2007, The overall cutoff was 206 marks. The subject cutoffs were 1,2 and 4 which really don’t count much.

The branch wise opening and closing ranks for each branch in every IIT for IIT JEE 2007 can be found on IIT website. Thanks to Himanshu Gupta,my friend who helped me in finding this link :)

Insider info : A guy named Shitikant is scoring 456 marks in IIT JEE 2008 according to Bansal solutions and has taken coaching from Bansal Classes. So he could well be the topper of IIT JEE 2008!!

Expected IIT JEE 2008 cutoff for admission: 185-190 marks

Expected IIT JEE 2008 cutoff for last rank : About 175 marks (7200 rank)

Expected IIT JEE 2008 Extended Merit List Cutoff : 150 marks

Subject cutoffs are expected to be about at maximum of 20 marks

This is because to clear a subject cutoff you need to be in to 20% of the total marks scored by all the students in that subject. So this will lead to very low subject cutoffs and most of you will be able to clear that.

General Observations :

  • Maths was the toughest subject followed by physics and chemistry.
  • Paper 2 was harder than Paper 1.

Alright, let me first tell you previous year ie. IIT JEE 2007 ranks based on marks :

Below is the expected rank list based on marks scored in IIT JEE 2008.

Please note that this is just to give you a rough idea and the author does not take any legal responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the information herein.

I do not know about the SC/ST/PD category cutoffs and I guess they are not released officially by IITs also. So I would refrain from giving you any false information.

About the OBC category, as the quota has been introduced this year itself, it is impossible to predict their ranks. But from some information I got, I think the OBC candidates need to score atleast 10% lower than the general category cutoff to be eligible for the quota.So if general cutoff is 185 marks ie. 38% of total marks then they need to score atleast 38%-(10% of 38%)=34.2% = 166 marks to be able to qualify for OBC quota. Then they would be ranked and cutoffs would be decided. Please verify this information from other sources too as I am not sure about this.

I will try to reply to as many comments as possible, but it is not possible to reply to every comment, so please bear with me.

Please vote in the poll below so that we all can get a rough idea on the average marks.
