No relaxation in 75% class 12 marks rule for IIT admissions, says Joint Admission Board

The Joint Admission Board has clarified that there will be no change in the minimum 75% marks criterion for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology. The board made this decision despite growing concerns among students over the delay in re-evaluation process of Central Board of Secondary Education exams. Eligibility criteria cannot be lowered as candidates from 36 different school boards participate in the admission process. The board is in close touch with CBSE to resolve issues for affected candidates.
