Hey there,

First of all congratulations ,70% is anyway better for a student but as you said for IIT you need 75% then in that case you can go for improvement exams. You can give exam for particular subject or if you want then go for full improvement exams and by qualifying jee mains and advance you can get IIT, NIT,IIIT college,it will benefit you there will be no loss.

Don't get demotivated ,give your 100%,explore new possibilities.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!!

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOR!

I belong to genral cast , so is there is any way that I get admission in IIT

Hello,

To get a seat in IIT you need to give Joint Entrance Examination Advanced. To be eligible to give  Joint Entrance Examination Advanced the candidate should have scored at least 75% aggregate marks in 12th standard (or equivalent) examination. For SC/ST/PwD, the aggregate marks should be at least 65%. As you have not mentioned your category if you belong to unreserved cast you will not get seat in IIT but if you belong to SC/ST/PwD you can get into IIT depending on your Joint Entrance Examination Advanced scores.

Hello

To be eligible for IITs one needs at least 75% marks in aggregate in class 12 if belong to general or obc category or at least 65% marks if belongs to SC/ST or must be in the top 20 percentile in class 12 examination.

So , if you have got only 70% in class 12th board examination then
  • you can get admission in IIT only if you belong to Sc or St category
  • but in case if you belong to General or OBC category then you are not eligible for admission in IIT as in that you need at least 75% in board examination

5 Subjects to be considered for calculating aggregate percentage are :-



*Physics

*Chemistry

*Mathematics

*A language

*Any subject other than listed above
