Hello,
JEE Main ke 75% eligibility ke liye marks calculation board ke total marks (as printed on marksheet) par based hoti hai, best of 5 nahi.
Agar aapke marksheet me total 355/500 likha hai, to wahi valid mana jayega.
Isliye agar ye 75% se kam hai, to aap JEE Main de sakte ho, par NIT, IIIT, ya GFTI admission ke liye eligible nahi hoge, unless aap SC/ST category se ho (unke liye 65% required hai).
Hope you understand.
Hello, Yes, based on your 389 marks, you fulfill the 75% criteria.
Don't worry about the 'Total Marks 355' (which is 71%). JEE (NTA/JoSAA) calculates the aggregate differently, using the top 5 subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Maths, one Language, and the 5th best subject.
Your 389 (which is 77.8%) is the correct calculation according to this rule, making you eligible. Also, remember that you are eligible even if you don't meet 75%, as long as you are in the Top 20 Percentile of your board.
I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day!
For the JEE 75% CRITERIA to get the admissions into universities, in here, PCM and ENGLISH are the necessary subjects, other than these you can have a subject which makes your percentage better. Though the criteria does change between IIT and NITs, but it is more or less PCM+ ENGLISH for the IITs
