Hi Ruhit!

No, it is not necessary to have 75% in your 12th Board Exams for appearing in JEE Main 2021. Because of the COVID Situation, the Board made it not necessary for students to secure 75%.

You must have passed your 12th Board Exams in either 2019 or 2020 for appearing in JEE Main! So don't worry and start preparing for it!

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!
