Hello Pratiksha,

As you might know that JEE main is the national level entrance examination for engineering colleges and courses.

The eligibility criteria for applying to JEE main is

For Paper 1 (B.Tech), the candidates must have studied Physics and Mathematics as the compulsory subjects in Class 12th, and Chemistry/ Biotechnology can be optional subjects.

For Paper 2A & 2B, the candidates must have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the compulsory subjects in Class 12th.

So, if you are PCB student, then you can only appear for JEE main if you have Maths as a subject in 12th,i.e if you're PCMB/PCM student.

Hello Candidate,

To be able to appear for JEE (joint entrance examination) MAINS, one has to have Mathematics as a compulsory subject in 10+2.

In your case, you had physics, chemistry and biology so you are not eligible to give this test.
