Hello Samrat

The minimum marks one need in WBBSE 12th board to get admission to NIT Durgapur is 75% in your 12th board or you should be in the Top 20 percentile of your board which means in the top 20%.

Usually, the best 5 subjects including Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry are counted for this process.

Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!

you need at least 75% in boards or be in the top 20 percentile of your board. If you belong to SC, ST, or PwD category, then the requirement is relaxed to 65%. Once you meet this eligibility, your admission will mainly depend on your JEE Main rank and JoSAA counselling, not directly on your board marks.
