Hello Aspirant,

See as you are a NRI candidate, then also you will be eligible for JEE-Main 2021 and let me make you clear that earlier NRI candidates were take in NITs through DASA scheme directly but no the students will taken through JEE-Main score only. And the application process for JEE-Main 2021 April and May session has been started by NTA from March 25th and will continues till April 4th 2021.

Note that no correction window will be there after this application process so fill all the details very carefully and those who had already applied for these session but want to make any modification then they can do so during this application process from March 25th 2021 to April 4th 2021 (11:50 PM).

You will also have option to apply for one Session or more than one Session (April /May 2021) together and pay exam fee accordingly. In other words, if a candidate wishes to apply only for one Session, he / she has to pay Examination Fee only for that Session during the current application period and will have opportunity to apply again for May Session.

Some insights of JEE-Main 2021 :-

> To qualify for JEE Mains, there is no minimum aggregate percentage criteria and also if you want to take admission into NITs, IIITs or CFTIs then you should pass in your class 12th. Because as per the latest announcement made by our Hon'ble Education minister Mr.Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank, the 75% criteria has been removed for upcoming year 2021-22.

> Also from this year according to New Education Policy the JEE-Main examination will be conducted in English, Hindi and other regional languages such as Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Odia and Malayalam.

That was information was really helpful.
But the thing is currently I am doing first-year college abroad so there is no chance I will be applying this year. I am going to appear for Jee in 2022, so that will be my 3rd year since did my gr.12 in 2019, will I be eligible
And if I decide to stay in India after this May then it is obvious that I will not be NRI anymore so will my gr.11 and 12 marksheet will consider ?
Your information was really helpful
I hope you can give me the answer of this question too, Thank you

Arya Shah See if you have completed your class 12th in 2019 then you are only eligible till JEE-Main 2021 so you will not be eligible for JEE-Main 2022 and onwards.

Anurag Khanna But isn't it that is has three year criteria that we can attempt three times consecutively after your 12th?

Arya Shah Yes it is but it includes your passing year of class 12th as well, so if you have passed your class12th in 2019 then the eligible years of JEE-Main for your are 2019, 2020 and 2021. So for JEE-Main 2022 you are ineligible.
