What does top 20 percentile mean if I got 65% for pwd?
Hello Ishaan ,
Top 20 percentile means that to give JEE Advanced Exam you should be in top 20 % of the students who gave the same Board exam as yours in Class 12 in that year, that is, percentage of at least 80% students of that Board in that year should be less than yours.
The top 20 percentile of class 12 boards will be considered for admission to the 31 NITs, 23 IIITs and 23 GFTIs even if they don't score the prescribed minimum 75% marks (65 % in case of SC, ST, and PwD ), in class 12 or equivalent.
Hope it helps!!!
