Hello,

Yes, you can appear in IIT JAM with 65% in 12th because you don't need 12th marks in IIT JAM. In IIT JAM they need your bachelor's degree, and you must have a minimum aggregate mark of 55% in this degree; then you can appear in IIT JAM. This means overall IIT JAM doesn't need 12th marks; instead, it needs bachelor's degree marks.

I hope it resolves your query!!

Yes, your Class 12 marks do not affect your eligibility for the IIT JAM exam. Eligibility for IIT JAM is based on your Bachelor’s degree performance, not your 12th board marks.

To appear for IIT JAM, you must:

• Hold a Bachelor’s degree (like B.Sc., BCA, B.Tech, etc.)

• Pass your degree with at least 55% aggregate marks (or 50% for SC/ST/PwD)

• There is no age limit

• Class 12 marks are not considered during application or admission
