Hello Dear Student,
- You do not need to reappear in all 5 subjects . You can take improvement exams only in the subjects where you want to increase your marks.
-
For the
75% criterion
(65% for SC/ST), JoSAA considers the required subject combination:
- Physics
- Mathematics
- One Language
- Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational Subject
- One additional subject with the highest marks
- If you have multiple marksheets from the same board , the admission authorities generally consider the best available marks in each subject while verifying eligibility, subject to the board's rules and the year's JoSAA business rules.
- During document verification, candidates typically upload all relevant marksheets (original and improvement) so that the eligibility can be verified correctly.
Hope it helps!

As for verification uploading both marksheet is necessary that's right but I had a doubt that as per jossa guidelines they want single marksheet for boards so to do complete that single marksheet criteria i was thinking to give exams in all 5 so that improved marksheet comes with improved marks of 5subject and if it's not necessary then I had to give exams in only three subjects which are p,c,m and that also easier for me to give only 3exams rather than whole 5 subjects and also as i will prepare for jee pcm improvement would be easier than language and additional. Kindly clear that doubt too
