Is it possible to get admission in top collages of engineering even after below 75%
Hi,
Yes, it is absolutely possible to get admission into good/top engineering colleges even with below 75% in Class 12 — but it depends on the college.
Important thing:
• IITs, NITs, IIITs through JoSAA usually require 75% in boards for General/OBC candidates.
• But many good private colleges do NOT require 75%.
You can still get good colleges like:
• VIT
• SRM
• KIIT
• MIT-WPU
• Bennett
• Amity
• Thapar (eligibility depends on PCM %)
Some state colleges and private universities focus more on entrance exam scores than board percentage.
So below 75% does not end your chances at all — it mainly affects IIT/NIT admissions through JoSAA.
Hope it helps. All the best!
