Hi, if you want to be eligible for NITs, you need to score at least 75% of marks or be in the top 20 percentile in the respective boards. The NITs have the minimum admission criteria, and students need to check the cutoff marks, which vary year-wise. If you got 74.83% in your Maharashtra 12th board exam , you might not be eligible for NITs, as it is less than 75%.

Bhai same here, mujhe bhi 75% se 1 mark kam hai..

To determine if your 74.83% in the 12th Maharashtra Board Exam 2025 falls within the top 20 percentile eligible for NITs, let's break down the Maharashtra HSC 2025 results¹:

- *Overall Pass Percentage*: 91.88%

- *Stream-wise Performance*:

- *Science*: 97.35% pass percentage

- *Commerce*: 92.68% pass percentage

- *Arts*: 80.52% pass percentage

- *Vocational*: 83.26% pass percentage

Given your score of 74.83%, it appears you might not be in the top 20 percentile, especially considering the high pass percentages across streams. However, percentile rankings can vary based on specific NIT admission criteria and your stream.

NIT Admission Criteria*:

- Typically require students to be in the top 20 percentile of their board exams

- Exact percentile cutoffs vary by NIT and year

To better assess your chances, consider

- Division-wise Pass Percentage: Your region's pass percentage might influence the percentile calculation

Good luck!!!
