CBSE responds to Careers360‘s Open Letter on JEE Main 2014 Online Application Form with answers to all those questions that were not covered by the JEE Main 2014 Information Brochure. Careers360’s Counselling Cell (Tel No: 011-40360360) had been bombarded by an unprecedented number of calls by anxious and terrified students about the various mistakes committed in their JEE Main 2014 Online Application Forms. See the details here.
Seeing the panic amongst the students, we at Careers360 had taken the initiative to put forth all the doubts that were arising on account of the JEE Main 2014 Online Application into an open letter to the CBSE chairman. Our Editor Mahesh Sarma also met the CBSE representatives to hand over the letter and conveyed the concerns of the students in person. We were assured of a response to all the queries and doubts by CBSE at the earliest.
All the questions asked by us at Careers360 in our Open Letter to the CBSE have been answered point wise and exactly as we asked them. We are nevertheless heartened to see a response from the CBSE albeit a bit late though. It was our idea to put the answers in the form of a FAQ which is exactly what the CBSE has done in their latest notice.

However, it’s always good to check the latest official Symbiosis admission guidelines or contact their admission office to confirm the exact documents required for your specific course.
Hello,
Yes, if you met the 75% eligibility requirements and passed your board exams in math, physics, and chemistry, you can enrol in NITs as a PCMB student with math as an elective. You have a good chance of getting into an NIT if your JEE Main rank is 19,000, particularly if you apply through your home state quota or in less competitive fields like metallurgy, chemical, or civil engineering. Newer NITs or branches with less demand are likely to have easier CSE or ECE requirements than top NITs. To improve your chances of admission, take part in JoSAA counselling and make a list of several options.
All the best.
