IIT Roorkee has provided significant relief to JEE Advanced candidates from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) by allowing them to continue participating in JoSAA counselling even if they have not yet achieved the required 75% marks due to pending re-evaluations. This decision comes in response to concerns from students worried that their admission eligibility might be jeopardized while awaiting updated board results. The institute clarified that candidates from General, OBC-NCL, and EWS categories must ultimately secure at least 75% marks, while SC, ST, and PwD candidates need a minimum of 65%. Students can fill their choices through JoSAA, and seat allocation will be based on their JEE Advanced ranks. However, revised scorecards must be submitted to IIT Roorkee by July 15, 2026, to ensure continued eligibility.
