I got 65.4% in boards 2020. I want to apply for jee mains next year. Am I eligible for it? Because then only I will prepare for it with focus.?

Hello aspirant,

- I am sorry but I think you're not eligible for JEE mains as your 12th passing year was for session 2019-2020 where the eligibility criteria was 75%.

- According to the JEE main 2021 eligibility criteria, 75% criteria has been removed, and now appearing students just have to pass 12th grade irrespective of their percentage, which is applicable for students who have passed 12th during 2021-2022 session only.

Check the official notice below :

I hope it helped

Best of luck

Hi,

As per the previous year’s JEE Main eligibility criteria, 75% criteria was removed for NIT and IIIT admissions. There is no prescribed percentage to appear in the examination. Candidates  only need passing certificates in class 12th irrespective of the marks obtained (applicable only for 2021 session). If you have SC/ST reservation only in that case you can give JEE 2022.

If 2021 eligibility criteria follows for 2022 JEE than you are eligible but if previous years eligibility rule comes through than you are not eligible for JEE 2022.

NTA will release the JEE Main 2022 eligibility criteria soon along with the official notification at (jeemain.nta.nic.in). Please keep updated for more info.

• NITs/IIITs/GFTIs Admission: Students should have passed the 12th class with a minimum of 75% marks or they should be in the top 20 percentile in their class 12 exam (65% for SC/ST candidates).

• JEE Main 2022 Admission (B.Arch/B.Planning): You should have passed a 10+2 or equivalent exam from a recognized board with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks.

• Students should have passed the 12th class or qualifying the exam in 2020 or 2021.

• Candidates appearing in 12th class or equivalent qualifying exams in 2022 can also apply.
