    Yes SC category students with board marks above the SC-defined minimum (typically sixty five percent) are eligible to apply for IITs via JEE Main and JEE Advanced if they meet other eligibility conditions. Your board score must meet the eligibility threshold set by JEE Advanced conducting authority (NTA/JoSAA). Admission to IIT depends on your JEE rank rather than board percentage alone. As long as you clear JEE Main, are eligible for JEE Advanced and secure a rank within the IIT seat matrix, board marks below seventy five percent do not block admission.
