    Admission Details

    Admissions are done the basis of rank in JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced).

    Admission to Indian Indian Institute of Technology, Dharwad is through Central Seat Allocation Board through JoSAA.

    Eligibility Criteria

    The candidates should satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for admission to IIT:

    (1) Must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The aggregate marks for SC, ST, and PwD candidates should be at least 65%. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are required as compulsory subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.

    (2) Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.

    • The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top 20 percentile criterion.

    i. Physics

    ii. Chemistry

    iii. Mathematics

    iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered)

    v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest marks will be considered).
