The report said that the decision to reinstate the Class 12 performance criterion was taken after the Joint Admission Board (JAB) met last month. Bringing back the criterion means that the students will have to fulfill the Class 12 eligibility criteria even if they score better marks in JEE Advanced to get admission in IITs.
“As normalcy has returned in board exams and schools started covering the full syllabus again, the qualifying criterion in JEE (Advanced) regarding board marks is going to go back to its original format,” the JAB told the Indian Express.
