can one attempt JEE Advanced in 2021 if he qualifies JEE Main in 2020
Hello Aspirant,
During this pandemic there is special relief provided to only those candidates who were COVID positive during JEE-Advance 2020. If any candidate who had qualified JEE-Main 2020 but got COVID positive during JEE-Advance 2020 can directly appear for JEE-Advance 2021 without bein qualified in JEE-Main 2021 otherwise in normal conditions you are not allowed to appear directly for JEE-Advance 2021 without appearing for JEE-Main 2021. JEE-Main result is only valid for one year and it would not be considered as the basis for JEE-Advance 2021.
So if you want to appear for JEE-Advance 2021 then you have to mandatorily appear for JEE-Main 2021 and also you need to qualify it with qualifying cut-off.
Expected qualifying cut-off for JEE-Main 2021 is given below :-
- Common Rank List (CRL) - 90- 95 Percentile
- GEN-EWS - 70- 75 Percentile
- Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 70- 75 Percentile
- Scheduled Caste (SC) - 50- 55 Percentile
- Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 40- 45 Percentile
- PwD - 1-2 Percentile
