The marks needed for a 99+ percentile in the JEE Main January attempt depend on the difficulty of the paper and the total number of candidates. Generally, you need roughly *180–200* marks out of 300 to hit the 99+ percentile. The exact cutoff varies each session, so checking the official NTA percentile score calculator or previous year cutoffs gives a more precise idea.
Hello aspirant
JEE Main accepts NIOS, so you can appear if you meet the basic eligibility.
BITS does not accept marks from two different boards, so this option won’t work for BITS.
VIT and SRM generally accept NIOS, but having two separate mark sheets can be an issue. You should check their official eligibility rules before applying.
Thankyou I hope this help
