Is 75% Rule Eliminated From JEE Main & Advanced 2025?
Despite many controversies raised by academicians, the NTA hasn’t removed the 75% rule from JEE 2025. The details of the rule will be available at the official website of NTA’s JEE: jeemain.nta.ac.in
The primary goal of including this criterion in the JEE Main test is to balance the application count. Right from the start, 75% received a lot of criticism and mixed reactions. Even though this legislation was intended to help students score high on board exams, some people disagree with the rule as there are students who might perform well at MCQs compared to the theory examination.

What’s the Reason Behind the Removal of 75% Rule in JEE?
It all started in the year 2020 when the world came to a halt with the unprecedented situation caused by the pandemic. The academic year was not well for the students as they had to juggle online classes and broad examinations. In addition, NTA has also postponed the JEE exam several times and at last stated that the 75% rule will not be applicable for JEE 2020.
The same case was repeated in the next two consecutive years, 2021 & 2022 when the academic session was operational in online mode. But when things resumed to normal and students started learning in offline mode the NTA again applied the 75% rule for the JEE exam in 2023 & 2024, which was objected to by some of the candidates.
It is assumed that the NTA will not remove the 75% rule as it sets the benchmark for the students to prove that they are capable of getting into prestigious engineering colleges in India. If the rule is demolished the number of applications for the JEE Mains will increase resulting in more competition for a fewer number of seats. Therefore, NTA will not be removing this rule to maintain the integrity and prestige of the most important exam JEE.
