JEE Main Result 2025: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is poised to release the JEE Main 2025

Session 2 results

today, April 17, 2025, igniting anticipation among millions of engineering aspirants across India. This announcement, accompanied by the

JEE Advanced cut-off

, marks a pivotal moment for students aiming for premier institutes like the IITs, NITs, and IIITs.
With over 10 lakh candidates participating in Session 2, the results will determine not only admissions to top engineering colleges but also eligibility for the highly competitive JEE Advanced. The NTA will also publish the All India Rank (AIR) list, factoring in the best scores from both sessions, adding to the stakes for students who attempted both January and April exams.
Anticipated release and cut-off trends
The JEE Main 2025 Session 2 results will be accessible on jeemain.nta.nic.in, with the JEE Advanced cut-off expected to be announced simultaneously. Last year, the general category cut-off for JEE Advanced was 93.24, while reserved categories had lower thresholds (OBC-NCL: 79.67, SC: 60.09). Experts predict a marginal increase for 2025, with the general cut-off likely ranging between 92 and 94 due to heightened competition and a larger candidate pool. The cut-off varies annually based on exam difficulty, candidate performance, and seat availability.
