Hello Pradeep Kumar Chaudhary,

In order to be eligible for admission in IITs or even NITs there is a minimum 12th borads percentage is required. If you are a OBC category student, there is a 10% relaxation as compared to a general category student. You shall need 65% of marks in this case.

All the best.

Hi Pradeep,

In UP Board, you need to have min. 75% score, or be in top 20%of all UP Board (which is around 65-68 % for OBC).

The rules stated by JoSAA is as follows:

The candidates should satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for 

admission to IITs: 

(a)  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%.  

(b) Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful 

candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board 

examination.  

The percentile calculation will be done for the required subjects in a single 

academic year only.  Therefore, candidates appearing for improvement in 

Board examinations can EITHER appear in one or more subjects and secure 

75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST and PwD) after improvement, OR, 

appear for improvement in ALL subjects to be in top 20 percentile (see 

section titled “Regarding the cut-off marks for the top 20 percentile”) of the 

corresponding academic year. 

Feel free to comment, if any doubt.

Hope it helps.
