75% Cut off Planned for NIT Admission

75% Cut off Planned for NIT Admission: Applicants securing beneath 75 % in the Class-12 examinations may soon be ineligible to secure affirmation in the National Institutes of Technology, regardless of their JEE (Mains) scores.

AdminissionsFor Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes' applicants, there will be some unwinding, with the cut-off for qualification being 70 %.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has suggested that the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) roll out this improvement in the qualification criteria for admission to the NITs, an authority told.

It is currently up to the CSAB to accept a last approach this, however the body – which is in charge of seat designation for the NITs – is known to pass by the administration's recommendation.

The 31 NITs – next in line of renown after the IITs in specialized instruction – offer admission to around 18,000 understudies every year at present, which is higher than the 10,000 understudies the IITs concede at present.

At present, the qualification standard for admission to the IITs is 75 % in Class-12 for general and OBC competitors and 70 % for SC/ST applicants, independent of JEE scores and resultant all-India rank.

Uniform criteria

The administration's suggestion is to have similar least qualification criteria for the NITs, with 75 % and 70 % proposed as general and SC/ST shorts, individually. At present, the base qualification paradigm for admission to NITs is 70 % for general competitors and 65 % for SCs and STs, the authority said.

Around 12-13 lakh understudies show up for the JEE Mains at present, of which only 2-lakh are qualified to show up for the JEE Advanced.
