I scored 58% in Boards examination 2019. I reappeared for improvement examination 2020 and I scored 70 percent. Am I eligible for JEE Main 2020 and JEE Advanced 2020? What is the eligibility criterion for admission into NITs? Will I be given admission if I score the required marks in JEE Main?

Hello,
To be eligible for admission into NITs IIITs and GFTIs and also to be eligible for JEE Advanced, you need to score minimum 75% in your class 12 boards if you are from general category (65% for ST/SC/OBC category) or be in the top 20 percentile of your respective boards.
As you have appeared for your class 12 in The year 2019, so you can appear for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced 2020. Also, you can appear for JEE mains 2021 but you cannot appear for JEE Advanced 2021 as you can only appear for three consecutive attempts for jee mains and two consecutive attempts for JEE Advanced. The first attempt being the year you first appeared for your boards , ie , 2019 in your case.


For more details about the JEE mains eligibility criteria please visit this link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-eligibility-criteria/amp&ved=2ahUKEwj8uYzu19bqAhUK6XMBHS7cDfgQFjAKegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw0Ddf__yVIUe0laa-JjEit-&ampcf=1

Hope it helps

Since IIT said that they will not consider boards 75% marks this year, am I still eligible for JEE Main 2020 and JEE Advanced 2020?

From this year only there is no barrier of 12th board on JEE Mains and Advance. So you are eligible for that, and this has been finalized by our Education Minister. But as per last year criterion the minimum requirement was 75%.

So work hard for JEE!!

All the Best!
