Why This Data Matters for Candidates
If you can know how many students fall into your category and gender as appearing candidates, you can:
Better understand your competition.
Target a realistic rank number in your category.
Have an idea about the probability of getting a seat when allocating at JoSAA counseling.
Plan roughly for cutoffs according to the overall volume of competition.
For Instance, if you are from the SC category, the lower total number of people and a relatively higher quota means that there are more chances to get top IITs with a lower rank than mainstream peers.
Conclusion
As we approach JEE Advanced 2025, let us recognize that around 2.1 lakh candidates are expected to register, mostly from the General and OBC categories, while approximately 20–22% would be female. Knowing this information will help aspirants channel their competitive instincts and have a rough estimation during JoSAA counseling. Make sure to keep an eye on or check the official JEE Advanced website, so you are informed of any data that will be released.
