The marking scheme differs too each year. The factors like these make JEE Advanced more challenging to crack.

Candidates aspiring for BTech admission in the IITs must secure a minimum of 75% marks in their Class 12 board exams. However, for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, the required minimum aggregate marks are 65%. Failing to meet this criterion renders passing the JEE Advanced exam futile for securing admission to the IITs.
