Hello,

Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank  said that For admissions in NITs & other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, apart from qualifying JEE Main, the eligibility is to secure a minimum of 75% marks in XII Board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations Due to prevailing circumstances, Central Seat Allocation Board has decided to relax the eligibility criterion for admissions to NITs and other CFTIs. But he did not mention whether it will continue for 20201 or not. Hopefully soon the eligibility will be released by the authorities.

Hello Aspirant

As, NTA has not announced any notifications about JEE 2021, but as government is trying to control spread of corona virus, so the board exams will be held according to proper schedule and no benefits will be given to students as it is given in this year. So, 75% criteria is applicable to JEE 2021. If due to any circumstances, if the exams are not held, then students may be given relaxation, just like this year. But it depend upon the condition of corona virus and the development of vaccine.

So, 75% criteria is applicable in JEE Main 2021, until NTA announced any relaxation for students.

Hope this helps and all the best.
