Hello,

The admission in to NITs and IIITs is solely based on the merit rank in JEE MAIN. Weightage for marks scored in 10+2 is not considered. Earlier to get admission in to NITs and IIITs a candidate must have passed 10+2 with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry with minimum 75% aggregate marks if she/he belongs to general category and for SC/ST category it was minimum 65% aggregate marks from a recognised board. Class 12th marks were considered only to determine the eligibility for admission in to NITs/IIITs. But for JEE MAIN 2020 and JEE MAIN 2021 the minimum percentage requirement was relaxed due corona pandemic. So Candidates can now get admission in NIT or IIIT if they have passed in the qualifying examination that is 10+2 in the above mentioned subjects from a recognised board.
