For JoSAA counselling, the eligibility criterion for OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, specifically for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, is generally sixty-five percent in their 12th standard or being in the top twenty percentile of their respective qualifying examination board. The seventy-five percent criterion is typically for General and EWS category candidates, or for admission to IITs for all categories. So, for OBC-NCL, it is indeed the sixty-five percent mark, ensuring a slightly more accessible pathway into these institutions. Always double-check the latest JoSAA information brochure for any minor annual updates.
