To be eligible for JEE Advanced exam, a student should appear in the first 2,50,000 rank as per the results of JEE Main exam. Also, there should be a gap of at least a year between the JEE Main exam a candidate has appeared and the JEE Advanced exam a candidate will appear. Also, candidates must ensure they secured a minimum of 75% marks in class 12 for the general category and 65% for the reserved category.
Details Concerning IIT Admission Process of Diploma Holders

Then, the diploma-holding candidates will be allotted seats based on merit and considering the seats available in the opted branch.
Candidates may also be required to submit specific documents, including the diploma certificate, relevant mark sheets, and category certificate (if applicable) for verification and admission.
