Yes,this will effect you during your placement time.As most of the companies tend to hire candidates who are either freshers or with one year of drop,having a two year gap can pull you down.

However,I would like to advise you that keep learning and preparing well and leave the rest of the thinking part.Having a two year gap doesn't make the placement part impossible.Also,there are lots of other exams where you can focus onto without worrying about the gap.

So,prepare well and accomplish.

Hope this helps.

Definitely, You would have to fulfil the eligibity criteria for appearing for JEE Mains .
