IIT Roorkee has informed JEE Advanced 2026 candidates that those currently below the prescribed Class 12 eligibility marks can still participate in JoSAA 2026 counselling. Such candidates must submit a revised marksheet meeting the required percentage criteria by July 15, 2026, for admission confirmation after seat allotment.
JoSAA 2026 Counselling can be attended by certain JEE Advanced 2026 qualified candidates even if they currently do not meet the prescribed Class 12 eligibility percentage, according to a clarification issued by IIT Roorkee, the organising institute of JEE Advanced 2026.
The institute stated that eligible candidates may continue with choice filling and seat allocation during the counselling process. However, admission will be confirmed only after submission of a revised marksheet meeting the required eligibility conditions.
IIT Roorkee Clarifies Class 12 Eligibility Requirement for JEE Advanced 2026
In its official communication, IIT Roorkee explained that candidates whose Class 12 marks are currently below the prescribed threshold can still participate in the ongoing counselling process. The eligibility requirements are:
|
Category |
Minimum Required Marks in Class 12 |
|
General |
75% |

75% |
|
EWS |
75% |
|
SC |
65% |
|
ST |

Candidates below these percentages can fill choices and receive seat allocations based on their JEE Advanced 2026 rank.
Revised Marksheet Must Be Submitted by July 15, 2026
The institute has provided a one-time opportunity for candidates awaiting updated board examination results or improvement examination outcomes.
Candidates must submit a revised scorecard showing the required percentage according to their category by July 15, 2026. The revised document must be sent through email to:
orgjee@iitr.ac.in
Only after verification of the revised scorecard will the admission process move forward.
Admission Confirmation After JoSAA 2026 Round 4
IIT Roorkee has clarified that seat allotment will continue normally during counselling based on merit and rank. However, final admission will be granted only after:
- Submission of the revised marksheet
- Verification of eligibility criteria
- Completion of counselling requirements
Eligible candidates will receive admission to the seat allotted to them at the end of the fourth round of JoSAA 2026 counselling.
Important Points for JoSAA 2026 Candidates
Candidates participating in counselling should carefully note the following instructions:
- Choice filling can continue despite current marks being below eligibility criteria.
- Seat allocation will be based on JEE Advanced 2026 rank.
- Revised marksheets must be submitted by July 15, 2026.
- Admission will remain provisional until eligibility verification is completed.
- Failure to submit the revised scorecard may affect admission to IITs.
JoSAA 2026 Official Clarification Awaited
As of June 06, 2026, no separate notification regarding this relaxation has been published on the official JoSAA 2026 portal.
It is also not yet clear whether this provision applies only to admissions coordinated through IIT Roorkee's clarification or to all institutions participating in JoSAA counselling. Candidates awaiting revised board examination results are advised to closely monitor official announcements and ensure compliance with the July 15 deadline.
