Hello Aspirant,

See there is no percentage criteria to appear for JEE-Main for any of the subject but you need to have Physics and Mathematics as your compulsory subjects in class 12th so that you can appear in JEE-Main and the percentage criteria is considered for admission to NITs or IIITs on the basis of JEE-Main score and in such criteria you need to have minimum 75% in your class 12th including all the subjects prescribed by your board also there are some criterion which you need to satisfy in order to appear for JEE-Main so let us discuss them.

1--- Age criteria :- 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.
