Performance Criteria in Class XII/equivalent examination

• Candidates whose Class XII (or equivalent) examination results have not yet been declared, can apply for IAT 2024. However, their admission will be subject to fulfilling the minimum eligibility criteria given above.
• For candidates who had appeared in the Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in 2023 and reappeared in any subject (for whatever reason) in 2024, the better of two performances will be considered.
• If a board gives aggregate marks considering both Class XI and Class XII, then only Class XII (or equivalent) examination marks will be considered. If a board gives aggregate marks considering the results of all three years of a 3-year diploma or courses of equivalent duration, then only the marks scored in the final year will be considered. Similarly, the marks scored in the final two semesters will be considered for boards that follow a semester system.

• If a board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade-sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the board specifying the equivalent marks and submit it before the deadline of the mark-sheet submission. In case the board does not provide such a certificate, the percentage marks will be assessed as follows:

          percentage marks = (CGPA or CPI obtained × 100) / PS, 
  

where PS is the maximum value of the point scale used by the respective board.
