Yes, you can give JEE Mains with a 65% in your 12th board exams. While a minimum of 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 (or being in the top 20 percentile) is required for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, there is no minimum percentage required to appear for the JEE Main exam itself

Hello!
Yes, that's correct! If you choose not to appear for the JEE Main Session 1 exam, you won't be required to pay for the Session 1 exam. However, for Session 2, you'll need to pay the exam fee if you decide to appear for it.
You can appear for Session 2 even if you missed Session 1, but just ensure that you complete the registration process and pay the required fee before the deadline.
Good luck with your preparations, and I hope this helps clarify your query!

Hi Ankush,
To be eligible for JEE Mains, a minimum of 75% in the 12th board is required. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that you do not meet the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced.
