    IIT admissions: Class-12 marks criteria relaxed for students clearing JEE-Advanced
  • This year, the Class-12 percentage criteria for securing admissions to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) will be relaxed for students qualifying the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced.

    In order to be eligible for admissions to the IITs, a minimum of 75% score in Class-12 board exams will no longer be required for candidates who clear the JEE-Advanced.

    Here are more details.

  • Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Ramesh Pokhriyal, took to Twitter to make the announcement regarding the relaxation of Class-12 marks criteria for the IIT admissions.

    He said that the decision has been taken in view of the partial cancelation of the Class-12 and equivalent examinations by a number of education boards in the country, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A little about the JEE-Advanced exam
  • JEE-Advanced is the second-phase exam of the Joint Entrance Examination, while the first is JEE-Main.

    JEE-Main, conducted twice a year by the National Testing Agency, is for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs. It also serves as a screening test for JEE-Advanced.

    JEE-Advanced is the only gateway for IIT admissions. It's conducted by one of the seven old IITs on a rotational basis.
