Hello aditya,

The JEE Mains eligibility criteria has been relaxed as of 2020. To answer your question, you can attempt the entrance exam for 3 consecutive years. Since the  exam will be conducted twice a year, you may appear in both the attempts. The attempt for an academic year will be considered as one. Therefore, the total no. of attempts in JEE Main for one candidate is six.
