Dear Candidate ,
Yes , with 74.5 % marks in your Kerala HSE ( Class 12 ) exams , you are eligible for admission to NITs through JEE Main 2025 , provided you meet one of the following criteria:
-Achieve at least 75% aggregate marks in your class 12 exams , or
-Be in the top 20 percentile of your Kerala HSE board .

Hello there,

Based on your information:

• Plus One and Plus Two total marks: 74.5%

• Plus Two marks: 77%

• Board: Kerala Higher Secondary Education (HSE)

You are eligible to appear for the JEE Main 2025 exam. However, for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, a minimum of 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 board exams or being in the top 20 percentile of your respective board is required. Since your overall percentage is 74.5%, you do not meet the 75% criterion.

Options to consider:

• If your marks place you in the top 20 percentile of the Kerala HSE board, you may still be eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

• You can explore admission in state-level engineering colleges in Kerala.

• Private engineering colleges often accept JEE Main scores without the 75% board marks requirement.

• You may also consider improvement exams to raise your Class 12 marks to meet eligibility criteria.

Make sure to verify eligibility requirements with the specific colleges you want to apply to, as they can vary.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
