Hello,

As you questioned, let me clarify that it depends on your category. For example, if you are in the SC or ST group, you may qualify for JEE 2023 with a grade of 74 percent because the minimum need for SC and ST candidates to enter JEE is 65 percent. However, because there is a 75 percent cutoff, if you fall under the OBC or general category, you will not be permitted to sit for the JEE 2023 test with a score of 74% in the 2022 class 12 board exam. According to the "75 percent criteria," a candidate will only be qualified for JEE if he or she received at least a 75 percent in the class 12 board test or placed in the top 20 percentile on an analogous exam. Consequently, you won't be qualified for JEE 2023 because of this requirement.

But why don't you take the JEE this year as you would be qualified to do so this year even if your test score is only 71 percent? You can take the test this year even with a 71 percent score because the 75 percent requirement has been removed for JEE 2022. However, it is unclear if this criterion will still apply to applicants the following year. So do your best to perform well and show up for JEE this year. Because you will need to enrol in any private institution if you aren't qualified for the JEE.

Good Luck!!
