Hope you are doing great...!!!
If you failed to score good marks in JEE mains but managed to qualify it and then if you scored a great score in JEE advanced. Then you can get into IITs as IITs seats are distributed based on JEE advanced score whereas JEE mains score is considered for IIITs, NITs, GFTIs, and private universities seat allocation only.
If you want to appear in JEE Advanced then in JEE Mains you have to score:-
General-EWS - 66
OBC - 68
SC - 46
ST - 34
I hope this information helps you!
All the best:)
