Yes, IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) accept improvement marks for admission through JEE Advanced, as long as the improvement is done according to specific guidelines.
Here's how it works:
Conditions for IIT Admission with Improvement Marks:
-
Eligibility via JEE Main:
- To be eligible for JEE Advanced, you first need to qualify through JEE Main.
- If you are improving your Class 12 marks, you should ensure that the improvement exam is conducted by the same board and within the eligibility year.
-
Improvement Exam in All Subjects:
- If you're appearing for an improvement exam to be eligible for admission to IITs, you must take the improvement exam in all subjects (not just one or two). This is because IITs require candidates to have cleared their Class 12 exam with the required aggregate percentage, calculated from all subjects.
-
Two-Year Eligibility Window:
- You can appear for JEE Advanced only in the year you pass your Class 12 (or equivalent) exam and the following year. For example, if you completed Class 12 in 2023, you can attempt JEE Advanced in 2023 and 2024.
- If you're appearing for improvement exams, it must be done within this two-year window to be eligible.
-
Minimum Percentage Requirement:
- You need to have at least 75% aggregate marks (or be in the top 20 percentile of your respective board) in your Class 12 exam. This criterion applies to general category students, while for SC/ST/PwD candidates, the requirement is 65%.
- Improvement marks can help you meet this percentage criterion if you didn't meet it in your initial attempt.
Important Notes:
- If you're appearing for improvement in just one or two subjects to boost your percentage, it may not be considered for IIT admission. You need to retake all the subjects for your improvement exam to be considered.
- Always check the specific eligibility guidelines for the year you're applying, as rules can sometimes be updated.
In short, IITs do accept improvement marks, but you must appear in all subjects, and the improvement should be done within the prescribed time frame.
