Dear Aspirant,

These are uncertain times due to which the minimum percentage criteria has been relaxed. If the situation gets better then may be the authorities will reinforce the criteria of minimum percentage again. The criteria earlier was that you need a minimum of 65% aggregate of marks in class 12th if you belong to SC/ST/PWD category. So be prepared.

Hello candidate,

For the academic session 2021, the national testing agency has prepared a relaxation of 75% marks in the Board examinations for the JEE advanced examination.

Moreover, if we consider the previous year trends into account the minimum marks required for a General candidate to appear for the JEE advanced examination was 75% while for other categories such as scheduled castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Physically Impaired Sections, the minimum Eligibility requirement for Board results was 65%.

Hope you found it helpful. For more details you can visit https://www.google.com/amp/s/engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-advanced-eligibility-criteria/amp
