- So this is used in correlation with the original number of attempts, from 2019 onwards, JEE Main number of attempts in total will be six.
- You should get 75% in boards for the third attempt also.

Hello dear,
75% criteria for IITs and NITs.
JEE Main candidates can appear in the exam for three consecutive years. Since the entrance will be conducted twice a year, the candidate can choose to appear in both the attempts. However, the attempt for a particular academic year will be considered as One.
For admissions to NITs / IIITs / GFTIs :
Candidates need to have secured a minimum 75% marks in class XII or equivalent exam or be in the top 20 percentile in their class XII exam conducted by the respective board.
