Hello Yashika,
Yes, you can get admission to an NIT through JEE Mains with Mathematics as an optional sixth subject along with PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) as your main subjects. However, Mathematics is a mandatory requirement for most engineering courses at NITs. Since JEE Mains primarily assesses PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) skills, admission will depend on whether you've appeared for the Mathematics section of the JEE Mains exam.
Here’s what to consider:
Eligibility : Ensure you qualify by meeting NIT’s requirements, which typically include a strong score in PCM, even if Math is your optional subject in school.
Exam Focus : Since JEE Mains has a dedicated Mathematics section, scoring well in this section is critical.
If you’re comfortable with JEE-level Mathematics and meet the eligibility, you can pursue engineering in an NIT.

Hello aspirant,
Meeting the cutoff and passing JEE Advanced are prerequisites for admission to IITs. As long as your total grades satisfy the requirements, taking mathematics as an extra subject shouldn't have an impact on your eligibility. To gain admission to IITs, make sure you pass both JEE Mains and JEE Advanced and perform well on the supplementary math test.
Thank you
Hope it helps you
