Hi
No, it's not compulsory to attend JEE examination in the year you pass your to 12th or appear for your 12th examination.
This is because,
One can give JEE Mains entrance examination for a maximum of 3 consecutive years starting from the year of passing 12th board examination and One can give or attempt JEE Advanced for the maximum of two times and that too in consecutive years
For example,
Eligibility criteria says that to be eligible for JEE mains 2022 for BE or Btech you should be either appearing for 12th board exam or equivalent in 2022 or should have passed it in 2021 or 2020 with Physics, mathematics and anyone of Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology or Technical Vocational Subject.
So, if you qualify your 12th board examination in 2021,you will be eligible for JEE mains 2021,JEE mains 2022 and jee mains 2023 and it's completely ok if you skip JEE mains 2021 you will be still eligible for JEE mains 2022 and 2023
So yes you can definitely start your preparation for JEE after your 12th board examination and for that you can follow the given below tips
* first of all make routine or timetable :- you can make a routine and try to give at least around 8 hours to study.
