Yes, you can appear for JEE Mains 2025 even if you are appearing for an improvement exam in one subject. The National Testing Agency (NTA) permits students appearing for improvement exams to apply for JEE Mains. Yet, for counseling and admission purposes, you should clear the improvement exam and be eligible before the final result declaration. Make sure that your marks and percentage criteria are fulfilled before the cutoff dates to qualify for the counseling and subsequent admission process. Keep a record of important dates to avoid missing deadlines.
