how many minimum marks are required to get 99+ percentile in jan attempt in jee

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.

I have total 68% in my 12th boards PCM , and the forms for improvment are closed by cbse , if i attempt on demand examination exam from NIOS in PCM will jee , BITS , vit , srm , these will accept my result? as i will have 2 marksheets where 3 subjects improved from nios and rest 2 are in cbse.

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
