Hello aspirant,

There is no age limit for the candidates. Candidates passed QE in year 2019, 2020 or appearing in 2021 and will be appearing in 2021 are eligible for JEE Main 2021.

you have almost null chances to get admission in any govt college through jee mains. If you are really passionate about Computer Science, you should look for some other good colleges, pvt or govt. Or you can apply for some other state engineering colleges.

Thankyou

Dear student,
You can definitely apply for jee mains if you have scored pess than 50% but remember that you will not be eligible for admission to various iit/nit/iiit/gfti if you have scored below 75% in your 12th standard boards. If you have passed class 12th then you will be eligible for jee mains. You can use this score to get admission in other colleges.
