Hello Aspirant,

See the seat allotment process is totally. different from all these four attempts of JEE-Main. Let us discuss it in detail,

First of all you have to appear for JEE-Main and you can appear either for only one attempt or two attempt or three attempt or for all four attempts, but the final result will be made on the basis of your best score means if you have appeared for all four attempt but secured your best marks in third attempt which will be conducted in month of April so the final result will be considered as the result of April month. Now once the final results are out along with the cut-offs so the qualified candidates will be eligible to sit for JEE-Advance 2021 and then if you clear JEE-Advance then you are eligible for admission to IITs and IIST.

But if you don't clear JEE-Advance but secured good result in JEE-Main then you can get seat in any of the NITs through your JEE-Main result only and note that this seat allotment process will be started after the declaration of JEE-Advance result and this seat allotment process is conducted by JOSAA and CSAB.

On December 16th 2020 the application process for JEE-Main 2021 Feberuary attempt has been started by National Testing Agency (NTA) which is the conducting authority for JEE-Main 2021. You can apply for JEE-Main from the official portal of JEE-Main which is given below :-
