Hello,

Your 67% in Class 12 may or may not be sufficient for NIT admission , depending on category and eligibility criteria. Here’s what you should know:

  1. Eligibility for NITs: General category students need 75% in Class 12 or top 20 percentile in their board. For SC/ST, the requirement is 65% .
  2. If Not Eligible: If you score well in JEE Mains but lack 75%, you may not get NIT admission. Consider improvement exams.
  3. Alternative Options: Private colleges, state engineering colleges, or IIITs based on JEE Mains score.
  4. Focus on JEE Mains: Score high to maximize chances.

Hope you find it useful !

If you belong to the General category, your 67% in Class 12 does not meet the 75% eligibility for NIT admissions. However, if you are SC/ST, you qualify as the minimum requirement is 65%.

If you are not eligible, you can:

Check if you fall in your board's top 20 percentile

Appear for improvement exams to increase your percentage

Explore private or state engineering colleges that accept JEE Main scores without the 75% rule.

Your JEE Main score is still important, so focus on securing a good rank for better opportunities.

I would d say a 67% in 12th is a bit below the typical cutoff for NIT admission, which is usually 75% or higher. However, a good JEE Mains score can definitely help offset this.




Eligibility Criteria


The eligibility criteria for NIT admission typically include:




1. Class 12th percentage: Minimum 75% aggregate (or a place in the top 20 percentile of your board).


2. JEE Mains score: A valid score, with a specific cutoff varying by NIT and branch.


While a 67% in 12th might not meet the typical cutoff, some NITs may consider candidates with lower percentages if they have a strong JEE Mains score.


You may be eligible for admission to various engineering colleges, including:




NITs


1. NIT Agartala: Has accepted students with 65-70% in 12th in the past.


2. NIT Arunachal Pradesh: Has a relatively lower cutoff, around 60-65%.


3. NIT Manipur: May consider students with 65-70% in 12th.




IIITs


1. IIIT Guwahati: Has accepted students with 65-70% in 12th in the past.


2. IIIT Kota: May consider students with 65-70% in 12th.




Private Colleges


1. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology: Has a cutoff around 60-65%.


2. Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS): Has a cutoff around 65-70%.


3. Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT): May consider students with 60-65% in 12th.




Focus on achieving a good JEE Mains score to improve your chances of getting into these colleges. A strong score can help compensate for a relatively lower class 12th percentage.




Action Plan


1. Prepare intensively for JEE Mains.


2. Check NIT admission through JEE mains


3. Aim for a high JEE Mains score.
