Hello Aspirant,

See there is no percentage criteria to appear for JEE-Main but yes if you are seeking admission through JOSAA or CSAB counselling then you need at least 75% marks in your IPE or 10+2 or you should be in the top 20 percentile of your board's result. However, the criteria was lifted off for Academic year 2021-22 but for 2022-23 Academic year, there is no any notification stating whether the criteria would be restored or not. Most probably the criteria would not be restored as most of the schools have opened recently and in some states the schools are again getting closed due to multiple reasons so we have to wait for any official notification for JEE-Main 2022, till then it is not possible to assure you anything.

Also there are some criterion which you need to satisfy in order to appear for JEE-Main so let us discuss them.

1--- 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---   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---   For JEE-Main 2022 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2020, 2021 or 2022; or those who will be appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2022, would be eligible to appear.

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