Q2.What will be the eligibility criteria for candidates who have qualified
their 10+2 examination in 2012?
Ans.
In respect of those students who passed their Board exam for the first time
in 2012, the eligibility criteria for joining any of the IITs or ISM Dhanbad
will be 60% marks in their 12th Board or equivalent (55% for SC/ST/PwD
candidates). For those candidates who appear in their Board exams for the first
time in 2013, the eligibility criteria will remain ‘top 20 percentile of the
successful candidates’ in their Boards, category-wise. This will be a one-time
exception for JEE (Advanced) 2013 only.
