Since your score is 71%aggregate Approximately you can give in eifher on eor more subjects of you choice where you have sxpred least marks to blkst your overall score.

No need to reappear in all subjects again.

Dear Honey,Sorry for the late reply!As you have mentioned you have 70.8% marks in PCM, English & Computer Science. Which will only be considered for the Eligibility of JEE Main 2019. Therefore, you will have to sit for the improvements and get aggregate 75% marks in these 5 subjects to qualify for the JEE Main 2019.Since you can apply for the improvement next year, still you are eligible to sit for the JEE Main 2019 January and April sesssions both.I would suggest you to fill the form if you wish to appear for the JEE Mains and can leave the marks sections of Class 12th. You will be required to present your marksheets at the time of counselling. And, also in the meantime study hard for your improvement as well as JEE Mains so that you clear both at the same time.All the best!
