JCECE 2025 vs 2024 Cutoff Analysis (Expected vs Previous Year)
The JCECE 2025 vs 2024 Cutoff Analysis shows a general increasing trend in most streams, an indication of increasing competition and increasing interest among candidates.
- In the Engineering (B.Tech) stream, the cutoff increased from 80-85 marks (90-93%) in 2024 to an estimated 85-90 marks (93-95%) in 2025. This is due to the fact that there has been more applicants and awareness of state-level engineering seats.
- Similarly, the B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture cutoff suggests a rise from 65-75 marks (84-88%) to 70-80 marks (87-90%), possibly because of the National Education Policy (NEP), with increased focus again being laid upon agri-education.
- In Veterinary Sciences (B.V.Sc & A.H), there is a sharp rise due to fewer seats and higher demand, and the cutoff rises from 72-80 marks (88-91%) to 78-85 marks (90-93%).
- Allied streams like B.Tech Dairy Technology and Fisheries Science (B.F.Sc) also see mild rises, reflecting steady interest but not as competitive as compared to major branches.
- Forestry and Horticulture are the courses with a small increase in cutoff marks. Forestry increases from 60-70 marks (82-85%) to 65-75 marks (85-88%), whereas Horticulture increases from 50-60 marks (75-80%) to 52-64 marks (78-83%).
- The BHMS (Homeopathy) cutoff has also increased marginally from 45-55 marks (70-75%) to 48-60 marks (75-80%), showing a fresh penchant for alternative medicine courses.
Even B.P.Ed (Bachelor of Physical Education) shows a rise, from 42-50 marks (65-72%) to 45-55 marks (70-78%), possibly due to competitive tie-breakers in the physical round.

Factors Affecting JCECE 2025 Cutoff
Below mentioned are some important factors that affect the JCECE 2025 Expected Cutoff of top universities and courses:
- Number of Candidates: If more candidates are appearing for JCECE, then there will be intense competition. If there will be a small change in candidates performance can increase the cut off as more number of candidates will have the same score.
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: The cutoffs decrease slightly if the JCECE 2025 paper is difficult as candidates will score less in the exam.
- Total Seats Available: The seats which are available in the top chosen universities is the deciding factor on cutoff scores. Suppose 100 candidates are applying for a college with 25 seats then it is obvious there will be an increase in cut off for that college.
- Previous Year Cutoff Trends: The main factor for affecting JCECE 2025 cutoff is that the top universities might determine the current cutoff based on data of JCECE 2024.
