What 180 marks means for you
180 out of 360 (50%) clears the General rank-list minimum of 92, as long as you also have at least 8 marks in each subject. Good branches at older IITs, or CSE at newer IITs like Hyderabad, Indore or BHU.
Twenty more marks (200) would put you near rank 2,800. In JEE Advanced that's often two questions, or one avoided negative-marking mistake per paper.
