Hello Aspirant,

See there was never a percentage criteria to appear for JEE-Main but the percentage criteria of 75% is considered for admission to NITs/IIITs/IITs/CFTIs and that too has been relaxed since last year due to the pandemic, so even if you are getting less than 75% then also you can appear for JEE-Main 2023 but note that there are some criterion which you need to satisfy in order to appear for JEE-Main so let us discuss them.

JEE-MAIN ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

1--- Age criteria :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2--- Qualifying Examination :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics as mandatory subjects along with one of the Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/ Technical Vocational subject from any of the recognized central or state board.

3--- Year of qualification :- For JEE-Main 2023 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2021, 2022 or 2023; or those who will be appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2023, would be eligible to appear.

So if you follow all above criterion then you are definitely eligible for JEE-Main.
