IIT

Hello SSD, this question keeps cropping up again and again in different forums and even in the courts of law. However at least till now all the challenges to this rule of 75% in board has with held and continuous to rule the roost. This rule is in vogue for many years now and it was relaxed only during the covid times when normal schooling was disrupted due to the pandemic. There are many cases when students have scored quite handsomely in JEE Mains but they have failed to secure 75% marks in there 12 board and as a result they were unable to compete in JEE Advanced examination. In one of the extreme cases which has come into the LimeLight in last few days one girl had committed suicide since she could not score 75% in her board exam but has scored a percentile of more than 90 in JEE Mains examination. This of course is very tragic case and should be avoided at all cost since not getting admission in IIT is not the end of the world. Best wishes to you.

If you are planning to appear for the JEE Main 2023 examination, your admission will be based on the JEE Main 2023 score. The improvement exam conducted by CBSE in July 2023 will not affect your JEE Main 2023 score, as the JEE Main 2023 examination will be conducted in early 2023. However, if the CBSE improvement exam result is declared late and you are unable to submit the result at the time of JEE Main 2023 counseling, you may have to submit an undertaking or provisional result Certificate at the time of counseling. You can contact the JEE Main conducting authority or the counseling authority for more information on the documentation required for counseling in case of late declaration of results. It is advisable to keep checking the official websites of CBSE and JEE Main for updates on the improvement exam and counseling processes.

Admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) for undergraduate programs is based on the scores obtained in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced. The eligibility criteria for appearing in JEE Advanced includes qualifying the JEE Main examination and securing a minimum of 75% aggregate marks in the 12th class examination or being in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective boards. As you have mentioned that you have cleared JEE Mains, you are eligible to appear in JEE Advanced. However, as per the eligibility criteria mentioned above, you need to secure at least 75% aggregate marks in your Class 12 CBSE board examination or be in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective board to be eligible for admission to IITs through JEE Advanced. If you are planning to appear in the improvement exam to increase your percentage in Class 12 CBSE board examination, you can do so. However, you should make sure that you secure at least 75% aggregate marks or be in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective board in the improvement exam to be eligible for admission to IITs through JEE Advanced. It is important to note that admission to IITs is highly competitive, and the cutoffs may vary every year based on various factors such as the number of applicants, difficulty level of the exam, etc. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare well for the JEE Advanced examination and aim to secure a high rank to increase your chances of getting admission to an IIT.

However, admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is highly competitive, and the cutoffs vary each year depending on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam and the number of applicants. While IITs do have reserved seats for students from Scheduled Castes (SC), the cutoffs for SC candidates can still be quite high. To increase your chances of admission to an IIT, you will need to perform exceptionally well in the subsequent stages of the admission process, particularly in JEE Advanced. JEE Advanced is the next level of the entrance exam after JEE Main and only the top candidates from JEE Main are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced. The cutoff for SC candidates in JEE Advanced might also be relatively higher than in JEE Main.
