My son's aggregate in JEE Mains is 96 percentile but 12th boards' score is 72%. Can I apply in NITs for B.Tech?

Congratulations to your son on securing 96 percentile in JEE Mains! However, NITs and many other engineering colleges have eligibility criteria that require candidates to have a minimum percentage of marks in their 12th standard board exams. Typically, candidates should have scored at least 75% marks in their 12th standard board exams or should be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards to be eligible for admission in NITs. However, there is a relaxation of 5% marks for candidates belonging to SC/ST/PwD categories. Since your son has scored 72% marks in his 12th standard board exams, he may not be eligible for admission in NITs. However, he can still consider applying to other engineering colleges that offer admission based on JEE Mains scores and have a lower eligibility criterion for 12th standard board exams. There are many private engineering colleges and state universities that may offer admission to your son based on his JEE Mains percentile and 12th standard board exam marks. You can research and apply to such colleges and universities based on your son's preferences for location, college ranking, course options, and other factors. I would also suggest you to keep a backup plan and consider alternative career options in case your son is unable to secure admission in engineering colleges.
