Dear Aspirant,

First of all JEE Mains exam is based on percentile and not percentage. To get a good college you need to aim for at least 98 percentile. But yes to be eligible for JEE Mains you need to get minimum 75% in your Board exam. If you belong to SC/ST category then you need to score only 65% in your board exams to be eligible to give this exam.

I am providing you some links which will definitely help you to prepare for this competitive exam.
