GEN-EWS78.2174869

Eligibility criteria for jossa counselling is

  • Candidates have received a rank in the jee mains exam no matter they are eligible for jee advanced paper or not

  • Candidates must have qualified Class 12th or equivalent examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of either Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational Subject as optional subject

Hello,

Here's eligibility criteria for JoSAA counseling.

  • Candidates are required to score higher marks than the cutoff of JEE Main 2020 for Paper

  • Candidates must have qualified Class 12th or equivalent examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of either Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational Subject as optional subject

  • In order to get admission to NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, general category candidates must have secured minimum 75% aggregate marks while reserved category candidates must have secured at least 65% marks

You cannot appear in JoSAA counseling if you haven't clear JEE mains and if you want admission in any private college then you can get it directly based on your JEE mains marks.
