Dear
According to the information yes, students who have scored less than 75% in their Karnataka Board exams can still appear for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. However, there are specific criteria for eligibility:
There is no specific minimum percentage required in the 12th board exams to appear for JEE Mains. Students just need to have passed their 12th standard or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
For JEE Advanced, the criteria include being among the top 2,50,000 candidates in JEE Mains.
Students should have secured at least 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) in their 12th standard board exams or be in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective boards.
If a student doesn't meet the 75% mark but still falls within the top 20 percentile of their board, they are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.
Thanks.
Hello,
When it comes to question papers, they are generally designed to assess your understanding of the subject and your ability to apply the concepts you've learned. While the blueprint or syllabus provides a general knowledge or area of what topics may be covered, the actual questions can vary.
Professors often create questions that test different aspects of the subject, such as theoretical knowledge, problem-solving skills, or critical thinking. Hence while the blueprint can give you an idea of what to expect, it's important to study the entire syllabus and be well prepared for any type of question.
Hope this helps,
Thank you
