hello,

No, but you must have passed 10+2 in the year 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be eligible.You must also have minimum percentage in qualifying exam exam to get admission in IITs/NITs/IIITs.And the criteria is that a candidate must have passed 10+2 or its equivalent with Maths, Physics and Chemistry with atleast 75% (general category) and 65% for SC/ST.

And there is no age limit.So if you fulfill the above eligibility criteria you are eligible to get admission in IITs.
