75%

The Indian Institutes of Technology have eased the eligibility criteria for admissions, opening their doors to students who have scored at least

1. 75% in class XII, even if they are not among the top 20% performers of their boards, 
2. Provided they crack the entrance exam.

In other words, an aspirant, who has cracked the entrance test, should either figure in the

1. top 20% performers of the Class XII Board examination or 
2. score at least 75%, to be eligible for admission to IITs. 

In the case of SC/ST candidates, the cut-off will be 70% in board examination.
