The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has opened its counseling process to students who do not meet the standard Class 12 marks requirement for admission. This decision allows candidates with less than 75% marks in Class 12 for General, OBC-NCL, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) categories, and less than 65% for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories, to fill their choices for courses. The institute clarified that seat allocation will be based on the JEE Advanced rank of the candidates. However, to secure their admission, these candidates must submit a revised scorecard reflecting the required marks by July 15. The admission will be confirmed only after the updated marksheet is received, and this confirmation will occur following the fourth round of counseling. This announcement comes as the Central Board of Secondary Education faces criticism regarding its marking system, with some students reporting discrepancies in their answer sheets.
