Hello Aspirant,

See if you are going to pass your class 12th in 2021 means this year then you are only eligible for JEE-Main 2021, 2022 and 2023 and or JEE-Advance 2021 and 2022. Now if you leave any of the attempt, suppose you drop this year then also it will be deducted from your total number of attempts means if you will not appear for this year then also you will be eligible for JEE-main 2022 and 2023, because the maximum number of years after passing class 12th is three years which includes passing year as well for JEE-Main.

Some insights of JEE-Main 2021 :-

> To qualify for JEE Mains, there is no minimum aggregate percentage criteria but yes if you want to take admission into NITs, IIITs or CFTIs then you should score a minimum aggregate of 75% in your class 12th if you belongs to General/Unreserved category and 65% if you belongs to any of the reserved category.

> Also from this year according to New Education Policy the JEE-Main examination will be conducted in English, Hindi and other regional languages such as Bengali, Gujarati, Assamese, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Odia and Malayalam.

This year JEE-Main is being conducted with slight changes in it's pattern and it's conduction and you can check out all the changes from the link given below :-
