can i add IT subject as technical vocational subject replacing with chemistry to pass the 75% criteria in jee main not for jee advanced,with physics maths IT english and geography

In JEE Main, to meet the 75% eligibility criteria, you typically need to include specific subjects in your Class 12 board exams. The core subjects required for JEE Main Paper 1 (BTech) are **Physics, Mathematics**, and **one additional subject** from a specified list, which often includes subjects like **Chemistry, Biology**, or **Computer Science**.

If you plan to replace **Chemistry** with **Information Technology (IT)** as your additional subject, it's essential to check if IT is recognized under the acceptable subjects for the eligibility criteria. Generally, IT is considered a technical subject, and many boards do recognize it for engineering admissions. However, it is vital to ensure that your school and the board you are affiliated with consider IT as a valid replacement for Chemistry in the context of meeting the 75% criteria.

In summary, you can potentially replace Chemistry with IT, provided that your board allows it and you achieve the required percentage across the subjects, which includes **Physics, Mathematics, IT, English**, and **Geography**. Always confirm with your school’s administration or the official board guidelines for the most accurate information.

Hello,

Yes, for JEE Main, you can replace Chemistry with a vocational subject like IT, as per NTA guidelines.

- The eligibility criteria for JEE Main require passing 12th grade with at least 75% (or top 20 percentile) in five subjects, including Physics, Mathematics, and three others. One of these can be a vocational subject such as IT.

- As long as you meet the aggregate percentage and have Physics and Mathematics, your combination of Physics, Maths, IT, English, and Geography would be acceptable for JEE Main eligibility.

However, this is not valid for JEE Advanced, which requires Chemistry.

Hope it helps !

Hey there,

Yes, you can add IT as a technical vocational subject in place of Chemistry to meet the 75% eligibility criteria for JEE Main, but this will only be valid for JEE Main, not JEE Advanced. As per the eligibility criteria for JEE Main, candidates need to have passed their Class 12 with a minimum of 75% marks (65% for reserved categories) or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective board exams.

The subjects typically required are Physics, Mathematics, and one additional subject, which can be a vocational subject like IT. If your combination includes Physics, Mathematics, IT, English, and Geography , it should be accepted for JEE Main eligibility, as long as you fulfill the 75% criteria overall.

However, for JEE Advanced, you must have Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects in your Class 12.
