There has been news of great relief regarding the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), the entrance examination for admission in engineering. Keeping in view the demand of lakhs of candidates, the Union Ministry of Education has decided to do away with the criteria of 75% marks in JEE Mains 2023. But not everyone will get this benefit. The 75% marks criteria in IIT JEE is being partially abolished. The sources of the Ministry of Education have given this information.
Know what he said?
According to the sources of the Ministry of Education, this relief is being given to the top 20 percentile students of all the education boards of the country including CBSE, ICSE Board, Bihar Board, UP Board, Rajasthan Board. That is, if you come in the Top 20 Percentile of your board in the 12th board exam, then you will not need 75% marks in the board to give IIT JEE exam (JEE Advanced). Even with low marks, you will be able to give JEE Advanced exam, provided you come in top 2.5 lakh candidates in JEE Mains exam.
IIT JEE: Why Top 20 Percentile?
A source said, “The 20 percentile criteria will help candidates who have scored less than 75 percentile in aggregate in class 12 board exams. Many of the top 20 percentile candidates do not score 75 percent marks in various state boards. Especially there are many state boards where children with less than 350 marks get included in the list of top 20 percentile. Reason- Strict marking scheme of those boards. Therefore, the ministry has decided that if a student is in the top 20 percentile, he/she is eligible for JEE Advanced.”
The decision comes after persistent demands to relax the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced, the joint entrance exam for students seeking admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). To appear in JEE Advanced, at least 75 percent marks in aggregate are required in the 12th class examination conducted by the concerned education board. However, for two years during Covid, this rule was completely abolished for everyone. But this year it was implemented again.
The process of online registration for JEE Main exam session 1 is ending on January 12. This exam will be conducted from 24 to 31 January.
