Hello Aspirant,
See the criteria of percentage for admission to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs through JEE-Main score was of 75% not of 72% but now due to pandemic it has been waived off and irrespective of any category all the candidates seeking admission to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs through JEE-Main score need to just pass in all their subjects prescribed in class 12th.
This is the second year year when this criteria has been waived off earlier it was waived off last year during the first wave of COVID-19 and now this is the second time and main reason behind this is to just keep some advantage for students and provide them some ease to cope-up with the loss of syllabus due to lockdown and so that they could be stress free.
