IITs Reduced the Class 12th cut-off aggregate by 5%
October 24, 2016
Good news is always welcome and for great news, you don’t even need to ask to share it. Keeping in mind the former statement I hereby take the privilege of sharing the latest update or should I say “Great News†from most esteemed engineering institute of the nation- Indian Institute of Technology.
Getting admission in any IIT across the nation is a dream of many and even a small update from them has great impact as the audience they cater to is very large. And this update will give wings to dream of many more aspirants.
Talking about the update,
The IITs has decided to reduce the aggregate cut-off percentage for SC and ST students by 5%.
This will now bring down the cut-off to 65% as compared to 70% earlier. It is surely going to benefit the candidates aspiring to join IITs.
But as righty said “everything comes with a cost†and same is applicable in the case of this great news from IIT.
IIT has reduced cut-off percentage for the reserved category but also increased the application fees. The registration fees for IIT has been increased- for girls and reserved category it has been increased to Rs1200 from Rs1000, for other categories it has been increased to Rs2400 from Rs2000. Applicants from SARC countries will have to pay $135 and $270 for applicants from other countries. Apart from increased registration fees, the candidates applying late will now end up paying Rs500 as late fees change and foreign students needs to pay $80 as late fee charge.
Although the registration fees for reserved category candidates has increased but we still call it a great news because the benefits offered are way beyond the increased application fees. Comparing the benefits drawn from the latest updates against the increased application fees charged will be like comparing the size of an elephant against that of an ant.
Stay tuned for our next update.

For Success in IIT, aggregate cut-off percentage for SC and ST students by 5% doesn’t matter much as the ways to prepare exam matter. My sister joined Catalyser and with the hard work of coaching and personal attention from them she got 8 AIR.
I have PwD certificate in GEN category. Can anyone help me to know the marks needed in Jee Advanced 2017 (guess) to get admission into the top IITs [ for branches like CSE, ME , CE etc]
Hi, I am Neha Pandey. Working with Kshitij Education India. What is think is reducing the aggregate cut-off will hardly make a difference for the aspirants. As we all know that the level of competition in IIT-JEE is increasing rapidly year by year. This reduction will give a chance to be eligible for apply for JEE but this will not give the guarantee that the candidate will crack the JEE. It totally depends upon the hard work done by the student. And how much time they spend on studies on the daily basis. Kshitij Education India is the institute which provides two-way online coaching for IIT-JEE preparing aspirants. Students can study and prepare for IIT at the comfort of their home and give as much time they can give to their studies.
