Yes, most engineering colleges in India accept students with a 50% score in Class 12th if they have a good percentile in JEE Mains. However, the eligibility criteria differ from institution to institution. Here's how you can proceed:

Key Considerations

1. Eligibility for JEE-based Admissions

   - Most colleges require a minimum of 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) for General Category students.

- For SC/ST/OBC, the percentile required is comparatively lower (45%).

2. Excellent JEE Mains Percentile

   A good score in JEE Mains can compensate for lesser Class 12 marks in several private and state engineering colleges.

Colleges Accepting 50% in Class 12 with Excellent JEE Mains Score

1. Private Engineering Colleges:

- Amity University Takes students with lesser Class 12 percentage but with a valid JEE Mains score.

   Lovely Professional University : Accepts at least 50% in PCM along with the percentile in JEE Mains

   *Sharda University Gives admission on the basis of the percentile of JEE Mains and eligibility.

2. State Universities and their Affiliated Colleges:

- Rajasthan Technical University Some colleges affiliated to this university may accept students with 50% PCM.

   - Punjab Technical University Participating colleges are liberal in their eligibility criteria.

3. Deemed-to-be Universities:

   - SRM University: Requires 50% PCM but screens the performance of the candidates for specific campuses.

   - VIT : Essentially uses the VITEEE score but also takes into consideration the JEE Mains scores.

4. Colleges through State-Level Counseling:

- Many state-level counseling bodies, such as MHT-CET in Maharashtra or COMEDK in Karnataka, admit students with 50% PCM if they have a good JEE Mains scores.

5. Government Colleges 

   - A few lower rung NITs or GFTIs would consider students based on a very good JEE rank, although 75% Class 12 marks are typically required (except for the specific academic year unless waived).

Application Steps

1. Know Counseling Processes:

- Participate in JOSAA/CSAB counseling for JEE-based admissions to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

   - Explore state-level counseling bodies like KCET, MHT-CET, and UPSEE.

2. Reach Out to Private Colleges

   - Directly contact private universities for admission guidelines.

3. Consider Management Quota:

   - Some colleges offer admissions through a management quota with flexible Class 12 eligibility criteria.

Hii Anmol,

Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University (DSMNRU) has not yet announced the specific application release dates and fees for the 2025 admissions cycle. However, based on previous years' schedules, you can anticipate the following:

• Application Release Date: For the 2024-2025 academic session, the university began accepting applications in early May 2024. It's reasonable to expect a similar timeline for the 2025-2026 session, with applications likely opening in May 2025.

   

• Application Fees: In the previous cycle, the application fee was INR 800 for general category candidates and INR 400 for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) candidates. Additionally, there was an examination fee of INR 1,000 for general category and INR 500 for reserved categories. These fees may be subject to change for the upcoming session.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend regularly checking the official website or contacting their admissions office directly. They typically provide detailed admission notifications, including important dates and fee structures, as the application period approaches.
