No, as a foreign national, you do not need to qualify JEE Main to be eligible for JEE Advanced. However, you must meet the other eligibility criteria specified in the Information Brochure of JEE (Advanced) 2025, such as educational qualification and age limit. Additionally, you must register directly for JEE (Advanced) 2025 without appearing for JEE (Main) 2025.
