For getting admission in any NIT , how much marks are required in 12th CBSE boards ?
Glad to know your interest in taking admission in NIT.
Let me 1st tell you that there is a total of 31 NITs in India which are present in the major cities. It offers degree courses at bachelors, masters, and doctorate levels in various branches of engineering and technology.
Now as you have asked, the eligibility criteria say that you have to score a minimum of 75% in class XII or equivalent exam or be in the top 20 percentile in their class XII exam conducted by the respective board. And if you belong to the SC or ST category then the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th class examination.
Other eligibility criteria-:
1. Age limit
As per the information, there is no age limit to eligible for JEE Main or for NIT admission. However, you need to pass 12th or the equivalent examination in 2017 or 2018 or appearing for 12th or equivalent exam in 2019.
2. Qualifying exam
You must have passed class XII or qualifying exam in 2017 or 2018 or appearing in class XII or equivalent exam.
3. Subjects/subject combination
It is mandatory for you to have taken 5 subjects in class XII or equivalent qualifying exam and the 5 subjects for B.Tech or B.E. are
1-Language, 2-Physics, 3-Mathematics, 4-Any one of (Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational Subject), 5-Any other subjects.
4. Number of attempts
You can appear in the exam for three consecutive years. Since the entrance will be conducted twice a year, the candidate can choose to appear in both the attempts. However, the attempt for a particular academic year will be considered as One.
And this no of attempts is for IITs not for NITs.
I think I have given much information about the question you have asked. If any other doubts are there regarding NIT, feel free to ask.
Best of luck.
Thank you.
To get admission in NITs the board criteria is minimum 75% or to be in top 20 percentile in their respective boards.For students belonging to SC/ST the minimum percentage is 65%.So,the 12th marks are not necessary just you have to clear the board criteria and score good in JEE MAINS.
To get eligible for jee mains
You must get the following aggregate percentage in 12th:
- OC/BC: 75%
