AP Board results are out, Cut-off percentage to come under top 20 percentile is still not clear

Andhra Pradesh board intermediate results were announced yesterday, but students still don’t know whether they will be eligible to get admission in IIT or not. From this year admission to IITs is a two stage process, in 1st stage students will appear for JEE Main, only top 1.5 lakh students will be eligible to appear for 2nd stage, JEE Advanced examination. The admission to IITs will be based on JEE Advanced merit list with eligibility criteria to come under top 20 percentile in their respective boards. Each board will have a separate cut-off percentage to come under top 20 percentile and only students who have scored above than cut-off percentage in XII board will be eligible to get admission into IITs.

Now as the AP board results have been announced, students want to know whether they are eligible to get admission into IITs or not, but no one is there to answer their queries.
“As per a survey done previously, the average cut-off percentage to be scored by a student in AP to appear for JEE (Advanced) as per 2010-11 comes to 92 per cent, while that for 2011-12 comes to 94 pc. It can be assumed that the cut-off for students is likely to fall between 93 and 95 pc to appear for the exam on June 2. Parents and students have been pleading with the state government to clear the uncertainty. “How will the student know that he or she is not eligible even though they have scored well over all?” said Dr P. Madhusudhan Reddy, general secretary of Government Junior College Lecturers’ Association (GJLA
