JEE Advanced 2023: IITs to bring back Class 12 marks rule for admissions

JEE Advanced 2023: The premier engineering institutes had dropped the Class 12 board examination performance criteria as a relaxation in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have decided to bring back the pre-pandemic Class 12 performance criterion for admissions for the upcoming academic year. The premier engineering institutes had dropped the Class 12 board examination performance criteria as a relaxation in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students were required to secure only passing marks in subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, language, and other subjects.  

Prior to the pandemic, General category candidates with qualifying ranks in JEE Advanced were required to either score at least 75 per cent in Class 12 or figure in the top 20 percentile of their board results to get admission in an IIT. Candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories needed to secure a minimum of 65 per cent marks or fulfil the top 20 percentile demand.
