Hello,

You are not eligible for admission in NITs and IITs as only for 2020 the 75% criteria was pulled down but now minimum 75% aggregate is required to be eligible to get admissions in NITs and IITs. It does not matter which year you have given the HSC exam. For admissions in NITs and IITs in 2021 you will need minimum 75% if you belong to unreserved category and 65% if you belong to reserved category.

Hello Aspirant,

See the 75% relaxation criteria was only given for JEE-Main 2020 due to the global pandemic COVID-19 but from this year the criteria has been removed and now it is back to normal for JEE-Main 2021. So if you have scored less than 75% marks in class 12th and passed class 12th in 2020 then you are no more eligible for admission to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs even after qualifying JEE-Main 2021 until and unless he/she sits for improvement and score the required aggregate in improvement.

Also note that to qualify for JEE Mains 2021, there is no minimum aggregate percentage criteria but yes if you want to take admission into NITs, IIITs or CFTIs then you should score a minimum aggregate of 75% in your class 12th if you belongs to General/Unreserved category and 65% if you belongs to any of the reserved category. Also from this year the examination will be conducted in English, Hindi and other regional languages such as Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Odia and Malayalam.
