Hello,
Thank you for your question!
Yes, for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JEE Main, general category students are required to score at least 75% in their 12th board exams, or be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards. For SC/ST category candidates, the minimum requirement is 65%. However, for the last few years, this criterion was relaxed due to the pandemic, but from 2024 onwards, it's expected to be enforced again. Always refer to the official JEE Main brochure of the current year for confirmation.
Best of luck

Hello
No, scoring 75 marks in Class 12 is not strictly compulsory for admission into NITs in 2025, but it plays an important role. According to recent guidelines, candidates must either secure at least 75 marks in their Class 12 board exams or be in the top 20th percentile of their respective boards to be eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JEE Main.
However, this criterion was temporarily relaxed in previous years due to the pandemic. It's important to regularly check the latest official JEE Main brochure or NTA announcements for any updates or changes in eligibility criteria.
