It is mandatory that the candidates must secure 75% or more in 12th class or must be in the top 20 percentiles in the 12th class examination conducted by respective Boards.

For SC/ST category candidates there is a reservation for 105 marks. Qualifying marks for SC/ST candidates are 65% in the 12th class examination for IIT/NIT/IIIT/GFTI.

Therefore, you must fulfill the percentage criteria to become eligible to get admission into IIT/NIT/IIIT/GFTI even after clearing JEE Advanced .
