Candidates seeking admission to IITs are also facing a tough situation as they might have performed well in the entrance examination but not got the required cut-off in their board exams.

The cut-off marks for admissions to Indian Institutes of Technology have been increased due to the top-20 percentile norm introduced by the Centre.

The 50% of Boards marks will be normalized by equating percentile amongst different boards/examining bodies and anchoring them to All India JEE Main percentiles, and 50% be normalized by equating each Board’s/examining Body’s percentile with JEE(Main) percentile marks of respective Boards /examining bodies.

There are five subjects which will be used for normalization. The subjects to be considered for normalization include-

Physics, Mathematics, any one of the subjects from Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology and Computer Science, One language and any subject other than the above four subjects.
