JEE Main 2023: According to media reports, the top 20 percentile students from each education board will now be eligible for admission to IITs and NITS and also to appear for the JEE Advanced exams even if they have not scored 75% marks in the Class 12 examination. As per reports, the decision was made against the continuous demands of students to relax the eligibility criteria for the JEE Advanced examinations.
As per the eligibility followed, students are required to secure a minimum of 75% marks in the class 12 qualifying exams in order to apply for JEE Advanced. Reports stated that the 20 percentile will help the candidates who are short of 75 percent aggregate in their class 12 board exams.
Discussions were conducted and since most of the top 20 percentile candidates in many of the boards score below 75%, the ministry has decided that if a candidate falls under the bracket of the top 20 percentile they will be eligible for JEE Advanced.
