rank in the JEE Main exam.

(2) For the candidates to qualify for admission in the IITs/NITs/IIITs and
such other CFTis whose admissions are based on the JEE ranks, they
should secure at least 75% marks in the 12th Class exam, or should be in
the top 20 percentile in the 12th class exam conducted by their respective
