Along with qualifying Jee Main, there was another criteria for being eligible for Jee Advanced and admission to NITs and oyher centrally funded technical Institutes and that is the candidates must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in Class 12. 5% relaxation in marks for Sc, St and pwd candidates. Or the candidates should be within top 20 percentile of their respective Class 12 boards.
But this year it's different. As all the subjects of class 12 of several boards have not conducted and marks have been provided on the basis of internal assessment and previous exam marks, many students have affected by these. So this year, the criteria of at least 75% or top 20 percentile has been withdrawn and those who have qualified Jee Main cutoffs, will be eligible to write Jee Advanced. And those who meet the cutoffs of Various NITs, will get admission irrespective of their 12 th score. Candidates just need to show their intermediate passing certificate. But this criterion has been withdrawn only for this year.
