What's the minimum cut-off required to join an engineering college?

Hello George, You have raised indeed a very interesting and pertinent query. Minimum cut off marks a student needs to score in the eligibility examination for getting into engineering colleges varies from institute to institute. IIT's mandate at least 75% in 12th examination or in the top 20 percentile. Some Deemed to be universities have put 60% as the qualifying criteria. However in majority of the colleges in almost all the states across India only about 50% seats are filled up. As a result, the state governments have lowered the cutoff marks of the qualifying examination to as low as 50% or even 45% in some States. This is to ensure that perhaps with this low qualifying marks the seats in these professional colleges will get filled up. You can find complete details about this from the website of the Directorate of technical education of your state. Best wishes to you.
