For admission to IITs the candidate should satisfy at least one of these two criteria:


He/she is within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in his/her respective Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.


He/she has secured 75% (for GEN or OBC-NCL) or 70% (SC, ST or PwD) of aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.


All The Very Best and Good Luck :)

Dear Rohit,

You have to fulfill any one criteria in order to be eligible for IITs i.e you should have 75% marks in your boards exam or you should be in top 20 percentile. 

 

Good Luck!!
