Dear  Candidates,

Passing years eligibility criteria to appear for JEE Main 2021 are as follows:

Candidates who have passed 12th class or equivalent exam in 2019 or 2020 (not before 2019) are eligible to apply for this exam.

If candidates have appeared in a 12th or equivalent exam in 2018 but did not cleared in 2018, but passed in 2019 are not eligible to apply.

Candidates who have passed 12th exams in 2018 or before or appearing in 2022 or later exams are not eligible to apply for JEE Main 2021.

If candidates qualify 12th exam in 2020 & appear for improvement in 2021 for one or few subjects, then top 20 percentile cut-off for 2020 will be considered.

However, if a candidate write all the subjects in 2021, then the best of the two performances will be considered.

Candidates must qualify their 10+2 level from a recognized board with physics and mathematics with compulsory subject to appear for JEE Main.

Hope you got your answer.

Thank you
