Hello,

NITs/ IIITs/ GFTIs Admission:Candidates should have obtained a minimum of 75% marks in class 12 or equivalent exam or they must be in the top 20 percentile in their class 12 examination.For SC/ ST, the eligibility is to obtain a minimum of 65% marks in class 12 or equivalent.

JEE Main 2020 - Details of Improvement Examination

Improvement for all subjects- If an aspirant appears for improvement in all subjects in 2020, then the highest of both the years will be considered.

Improvement for one or more subject- If the candidate appears for improvement in 2020, then the top 20 percentile of 2019 will be taken into account. The maximum marks secured in the necessary subjects will be considered to calculate the aggregate percentage in such a case.
If a candidate passes Class 12 but writes one or a few subjects for improvement or any other reason, then top 20 percentile cut-off will be considered.

However, if a candidate writes all the subjects then the best of the two performances will be considered.

In case a Board does not provide information about the cut-off for the top 20 percentile, the candidate will have to produce a certificate from the respective Board stating that he/she falls within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates. If the candidate fails to do so, then the cut-off marks for the CBSE will be used.

If a candidate has passed Class 12th/ Equivalent qualifying examination from one state but appeared for improvement from another state, their state code of eligibility will be from where they have originally passed Class 12th/ Equivalent qualifying examination and not the state from where they have appeared for improvement.




Hope it helps

So in best of two performances, if I give improvement exam in all 5 subjects, will it be calculated also in 75% criteria?

I passed 12th in 2020. Due to a low percentage, I wish to appear for the reappearance scheme on the upcoming 2021 board. I've never attempted any JEE paper. After April 2021, how many attempts are left for me?
