IIT Guwahati FAQs clarified, The questions answered in the FAQs here are relevant for JEE (Advanced) 2023 only. For queries regarding JEE (Main) 2023 please visit the website https://jeemain.nta.nic.in
The IIT Guwahati, the organizing IIT for the JEE Advanced 2023, has issued FAQs for the JEE Advanced 2023 for the aid of the students. Some important information has been given regarding the students appearing in this examination. Career Counseling Expert of ALLEN Career Institute Amit Ahuja said that answers to many questions related to taking the exam came out in the FAQ.
Such students, who have passed the 12th examination for the first time and are appearing in the 12th examination in the year 2023, only they will be eligible to take the examination. Such students who have scored less than 75 percent or top-20 percentile in the 12th board will have to give an improvement test in one or more subjects to get 75 percent marks. On the contrary, students will have to take improvement exam in all the subjects to get into the top 20 percentile of their respective boards.
The country’s biggest engineering entrance exam, JEE-Main will be conducted from January 24 to 31 in 14 shifts. Students are waiting for the admit cards of the JEE-Main exam. Before this, students were allowed to rectify the errors made in the application. According to the information issued in the information bulletin, the students will be informed about the exam city and date before the admit cards. In the next day or two, this information will be issued to the students on the website of JEE-Main. After this, the admit cards of the students will be issued. Last year also, the admit cards were given two days before the examination. On getting the information about the exam city and date, students can make travel arrangements according to their allotted exam slot.
After the amendment in 12th board eligibility for admission in IIT, NIT, and IIIT, the state boards of the country have started issuing top-20 percentile. In this, Maharashtra Board has released the top-20 percentile first. According to the data released on the website, the cut-off for the general category is 78.20 percent, OBC is 79.40, ST and SC is 75.40 percent. Students of other boards of the country are also waiting for the top-20 percentile since those who do not have 75 percent marks in 12th and are on edge, then their confusion will be removed only when the top 20 percentile of their boards is released. It is noteworthy that till 2019, there were many boards whose board eligibility percentage used to be less than 75 percent. In such a situation, the students are now waiting for the top 20 percentile.
