In the wake of COVID-19 outbreak, Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) relaxed admission norms for admissions into National Institute of Technology (NITs). Students who qualify JEE Main 2020 now only need to provide a school final or Class 12 passing certificate to get admission into any National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or the Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs).
Earlier, students required 75% marks in class 12th or rank among the top 20 percentile in the qualifying exam to be eligible for admission. But this year only need their 12th passing certificate for admissions, irrespective of the score obtained by them. National Testing Agency will conduct JEE Main 2020 between September 1 to 6. IITs have already informed the relaxation in percentage criteria for admissions this year.
