i got 60.8% in 12th exam am i eligible for nit college

Hello pankaj,

Hope you are doing good.

As you said you have secured 60.8 percent in your 12 th cbse, you are not eligible to get admission in any nit colleges through general quota.

The minimum percent required for her mains is 75 percent for general. I am sorry to say that you are not eligible as per this criteria.

If you want to take admission in NIT, you can prepare and give the exams for next year. Or you can take admission in any of the private colleges.

Hope you choose the best.
Good luck.!!

I failed in class 12th boards 2016 but due to some reasons I didn't pass in 2017 as well. Am I eligible for JEE Mains 2018?

Yes , if you have given board exams this year then you are definately eligible for jee mains 2018...
Candidates securing 75% marks (65% marks for SC/ST) in the qualifying examination (12th) or to be in top 20 percentile of their respective boards will be eligible to apply for JEE Advanced 2017.
In other words, we can say that admission to IITs, NITS, IIITs and CFTIs will be offered only to those students who are satisfying the aforesaid eligibility criteria.

Also, admission in IITs and NITs depend on your rank in jee mains and advance...
Good Luck!!!

College Infrastructure

The college has many buildings and labs. Most classrooms have projectors. There is a reading room in the library. Hostel is okay with shared rooms. Food is healthy but not tasty every day. Wi-Fi works well in hostels but not in all classrooms.

Good transportation facility is available for my college

Classrooms are simple and clean. Labs are available for all branches. Hostel is clean, but food is average. Library has books for every subject but some are old. Wi-Fi is not strong in all areas. Sports ground is small, but some games are organized.
