Hi

In the context of JEE and NIT admissions , the eligibility criteria usually specify that you must have a minimum of 75% in your Class 12 board exams .

Here’s how it generally works :

1. Applying with 75% : If you score 74.8% , you technically do not meet the 75% requirement .  if you apply with 75% , it may allow you to participate in the counselling process .

2. Verification Process : During the verification process after counselling , you will need to provide your actual marks . If your actual score is below 75% , you could be disqualified from the admission process .

3. Improvement Exam : If you have taken an improvement exam and are confident you will score above 75% , it’s crucial to have your results from that exam ready to present .

4. Counseling Rounds : If you get a seat in a counselling round based on your declared percentage , but your actual marks do not meet the eligibility criteria, you risk losing seat during the verification process .

It’s advisable to be honest and accurate in your application  , wait until your improvement results are out before applying .

In summary, while you might be able to declare a rounded-up percentage in your application, discrepancies during verification can lead to disqualification. It’s best to wait for your improvement results to ensure you meet the criteria.

If your actual percentage is 74.8%, then do not fill 75% in the JEE Main application form.

Misleading information will lead to extreme cases such as disqualification. One should always be truthful and transparent with one's application.

Here is how things would go on.

First Counseling: You would get a counseling on the basis of your first score of JEE Main and 10th percentage 74.8%.

Improvement Exam: If you get your 12th board percentage improved up to 75% above, then you will be eligible for further rounds of counseling.

Document Verification: Once the counseling process begins you have to submit the original 12th mark sheet with improved percentage in case of improvement exam.

What to Remember

Be true: Fill up your application form with correct information

Focus on Improvement Exam: Strive hard for your improvement in 12th board percentage.

Update about Counseling Rounds: Note down the counseling dates and prepare for further rounds of counseling.

Ensure all your documents are prepared so that you can provide the same to the officials while being counseled

The above procedures and proper communication will make you secure your seat in an NIT.
