As per the NTA guidelines issued by authority for JEE MAINS 2022 is candidates are eligible for JEE MAINS 2022 if they have passed their 12th boards or equivalent examination from a recognized board. Hence , no minimum marks criteria is mentioned to apeear for the exam
You are eligible to appear for JEE MAINS irrespective of age for 2022, 2023, 2024 if you have passed your 12th boards in the year 2022. So, if you want to take a drop year, you can go ahead for that.
