Hello,

To be eligible for NIT (National Institutes of Technology) admissions through JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority), here’s how subject requirements generally work:

1. Core Subjects for Eligibility : For NIT admissions, the essential subjects typically include Physics , Mathematics , and one other recognized subject. Chemistry is commonly accepted as a technical/vocational subject, but JoSAA has specified that equivalent vocational or technical subjects can sometimes substitute it.

2. IT as a Vocational Subject : Information Technology (IT) is often accepted as a vocational subject in place of Chemistry for the 75% eligibility criteria in JEE Main for NIT admissions. You can check if IT is explicitly listed as acceptable on the JoSAA or JEE Main guidelines for the year you're applying.

3. Subjects to Count Toward 75% Criteria : If IT is acceptable, your 75% aggregate could be calculated based on scores in Physics , Mathematics , English , Geography , and IT .

4. Confirming Eligibility : Refer to the most recent JoSAA guidelines or JEE Main brochure for verification, as subject requirements can occasionally change year to year.

5. Final Consideration : Always consult your school’s or board’s criteria for technical/vocational subjects to ensure that IT meets all eligibility and board-specific criteria for NIT applications.
