Is there any value of class 12th marks for an engineering student?

Akshat, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has notified following two changes in the JEE pattern for 2017: 1. There shall be no weightage for the 12th class marks in calculating the ranks in the JEE (Main) examination, 2. For the candidates to qualify for the admission in the IITs/NITs/IIITs and such other CFTIs whose admissions are based on the JEE (Advanced)/JEE(Main) ranks, they should have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th class examination, or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th class examination conducted by the respective Boards. For SC/ST students the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th class examination. So, class 12 marks do carry importance if you want to participate in JEE counselling. But some government.colleges and private universities won't have this. Many private universities like LPU, Sharda, Galgotia, etc ask for 50-60% in 12th and JEE marks or their own tests. These universities are equally good as government.ones offering quality education along with good placements. In fact LPU has best placements in North India and it has made education affordable for all by offering good scholarships. Good Luck.
