You can give exams by ways many students give, but it wont be applicable for admission. As per your question you are promoted to 12 this year i.e., you will go for 10+2 in 2022. Thus you are eligible for JEE MAINS in 2022. You can't attempt JEE MAINS 2021.

Now if you want then you can obviously practice this year question paper and self test yourself this will benefit your preparation.

Hi

No, you are not eligible for JEE mains 2021 if you are still studying in class 12th means you will be appearing for your class 12th board examination in 2022 and thus you will become eligible for JEE main  2022.

For your reference,

Jee main eligibility criteria is given below-

-) Qualification required :- to be eligible  for JEE mains  for BE or Btech you need 10+2/equivalent qualification with Physics,  mathematics as compulsory subject along with anyone of Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology or Technical Vocational Subject.
