The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has decided to relax admission criterion this year in view of partial cancellation of Class XII exams by various boards, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ announced.
“Due to the partial cancellation of Class XII exams by several Boards, Joint Admission Board (JAB) has decided to relax the eligibility criterion for JEE (Advanced) 2020-qualified candidates this time.
“Qualified candidates who have passed class XII examinations will now be eligible for admissions irrespective of marks obtained,” the minister said in a series of tweets.
For admissions to IITs, apart from qualifying the JEE (Advanced), the eligibility was to secure either minimum score of 75 percent marks in class 12 board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations, he tweeted.
