Hi

hope you doing well

For the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) eligibility criteria regarding the 75% cutoff, here’s what you need to know:

  1. Eligible Subjects: The percentage calculation for the 75% criteria typically includes the following five subjects:

    • Physics
    • Chemistry
    • Mathematics
    • English
    • One additional subject from the relevant subjects (usually a core subject like Biology for PCMB students).

According to the guidelines provided by the National Testing Agency (NTA), skill subjects like Yoga are generally not considered equivalent to core academic subjects. Therefore, while you can have Yoga as an additional subject in your curriculum, it usually cannot replace a core subject like Biology when calculating the percentage for the 75% eligibility criterion.

Final Confirmation is that, It is essential to verify this information with your school or the relevant authority (like NTA) to get the most accurate guidance based on the latest regulations and any specific policies that may apply.

hope you get it and find this info useful

Best wishes.
