HRD Ministry Useless Decision on Inter Students for IITs

The union HRD ministry has taken a useless decision on the 'qualifications' prescribed to join Iits.

As of now, in addition to clear JEE Advanced entrance examinations, IIT aspirants had to score more than 75% marks in Intermediate or class 12 board examinations or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying exams. HRD ministry has lifted the 75% marks rule now

It is a common practice a student of IIT standard can easily surpass 75% marks in Intermediate. Hence. ministry's decision would affect neither positively nor negatively among the IIT aspirants.

"Qualified candidates who have passed class XII examinations will now be eligible for admissions irrespective of marks obtained.Due to the partial cancellation of class XII exams by several Boards, Joint Admission Board (JAB) has decided to relax the eligibility criterion for #JEE (Advanced) 2020 qualified candidates this time.

For admissions to #Iits, apart from qualifying the #JEE (Advanced), the eligibility was to secure either minimum score of 75% marks in class XII Board exams or rank among the top 20 percentile in their qualifying examinations," tweeted HRD minister Ramesh Pokhriyal.
