What needs to be noted?
The Union Human Resource Development Ministry has made two changes in the JEE pattern for 2017. Firstly, there shall be no weightage for class 12 marks in calculating ranks in the JEE (Main) examination, and secondly, students should score at least 75 percent marks in the 12th class examination, or be in the top 20 percentile of the respective boards to qualify for the admission in the IITs/NITs/IIITs and such other CFTIs. However, the qualifying mark for SC and ST students is only 65 percent.
