Minimum marks required – For general category, you need at least 75% in Class 12 or be in top 20 percentile of your board. For SC/ST, 65% required. But to appear in JEE Main exam, no minimum percentage required, but for admission in NITs, IIITs you need 75% criteria.
Subjects required – For BTech – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics compulsory in Class 12. For BArch – Mathematics compulsory. For BPlan – Mathematics compulsory.
