Hello aspirant,

No,you cannot attempt the JEE ADVANCED Exam without qualifying the JEE MAINS Exam. You have to qualify JEE MAINS Exam and score a aggregate of atleast 75 percentage marks in your board exams

Last year only the top 2,45,000 students were allowed to attempt the JEE ADVANCED Exam. The castewise distribution of these selected candidates is-
  • GEN-EWS - 4%
  • OBC-NCL - 27%
  • SC - 15%
  • ST - 7.5%
  • OPEN - 46.5%

Hello!

Unfortunately you can't.

It is required to first clear the Jee MAINS  and than only you can qualify for Advanced , if you have successfully scored more than the cut off.

That is JEE MAINS in the Preliminary exam , in which if you get more than the cut off percentile; then only you are Eligible for the 2nd paper That is JEE ADVANCED!

HOPE THIS CLEARED YOUR DOUBTS !

Best of Luck !
