Hi there,
Hope you are doing well.
I am sorry to say but if you have scored fewer marks then the required percentage in the boards which is 65% for ST Category, then you would be unable to sit for the JoSAA Counselling so you can go for private colleges.
Hope it would help.
Thank You.
Hello student,
The basic eligibility to get a seat in IITs or NITs or IIITs is to secure minimum 75% in aggregate in class 12 boards from science stream.
There are many students who crack JEE exams but get failed in securing a seat due to less percentage in class 12. As you too fall under the same criteria, there is no chance to get a seat in any of the three institutions. You can proceed for other colleges.
Cheers!!
For qualifying for NITs you need 65% as an sc candidate. If you do have the mentioned score then you can apply. I suggest you to apply for state level engineering colleges which accept JEE main scores. You have an good chance there too.
Hope this helps.
