Hello,

Yes, the student will be eligible for JoSAA counselling if they meet the 75% eligibility criteria (or are in the top 20 percentile of their board) despite getting RT (Repeat in Theory) in one subject. However, consider the following points:

1. JoSAA Eligibility: Candidates must score 75% or above in CBSE (65% for reserved categories) or be in the top 20 percentile of their board.
2. RT in One Subject: If the overall percentage meets the requirement despite RT, JoSAA may still accept the candidate.
3. Passing Certificate: The candidate must have a valid pass certificate issued by CBSE.
4. College-Specific Rules: Some IITs/NITs may have additional criteria regarding RT cases.
5. Improvement Exams: The best of either year’s performance is considered for eligibility.

Hope you find it useful !

Hello there,

Yes, you will still be eligible for JoSAA counseling if you meet the 75% aggregate criteria or are in the top 20 percentile of your board, even if you got RT (Repeat Theory) in one subject in the improvement exam.

However, ensure that your final marksheet reflects your qualified status in all required subjects before document verification. If needed, you may have to clear the RT exam before admission.
