I am sorry.

My bad that I did not pay attention that you are in the top 20 percentile of your board.

Since you are, you will be eligible for nit.

And YES, taking admission in NIT does depend on your class 12th marks or percentile.

Hi shruti, the nit is not depend on the 12th mark you scored, the only way to get admission in the nit is to crack the jee main exam.

Hi,
Yes you are eligible and you can get admission in NIT if you crack the JEE main examination.
It's eligibility criteria is that you have to score either 75 % or to be in top 20 percentile in your board examination.
abdullah ahmed Student Expert 28th May, 2019

Hi Shruti,

I am sorry to tell you that you will not be eligible to take admission in any nit, iit or iiit because for these institutes the criteria is to score an overall aggregate of 75% in class 12th boards for general category and 65% for sc, st and obc category.

But, you can give improvement exam next year to achieve the criteria.


All the best!!!
