Can I get 80.9% marks in the Intermediate 1st Year 89% and 2nd Year 74.83% JEE Advance to join IIT?

Yes, you can join IIT after JEE Advanced if you meet the minimum eligibility criteria for 12th marks. Usually, you need at least 75% overall in Intermediate or equivalent (or be in the top 20 percentile in your board). Your 1st-year marks are 89% and 2nd-year marks are 74.83%, which average around 80.9%, so you meet the eligibility. Just make sure your JEE Advanced rank is good enough, and then participate in JoSAA counseling to get your IIT seat. Good luck!

Your Intermediate 1st Year marks are 89% and 2nd Year marks are 74.83%, which averages around 80.9%. But for IIT admission, JEE Advanced rank matters the most, not just your Intermediate marks. You need to qualify and get a good rank in JEE Advanced to join IIT. Good Intermediate marks help, but focus more on preparing well for JEE Advanced to secure admission in IIT. Both are important, but JEE Advanced rank is the key for IIT.

Hello there,

To join an IIT through JEE Advanced, what matters most is:

• Qualifying JEE Advanced exam with a rank within the required cutoff.

• Scoring at least 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 (both years combined) or being in the top 20 percentile of your board.

If your Intermediate 1st Year is 89% and 2nd Year is 74.83%, your overall aggregate is approximately 81.9%, which is above the 75% requirement.

So, yes, your marks make you eligible for JEE Advanced, but admission depends primarily on your JEE Advanced rank and meeting other criteria , not just percentage marks.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
