Hello Neeharika,
In NTA brochure it is clearly mentioned that u can give jee 2 times after 12 passing and no age limit….
In 2015, 2016,2017, 2018 brochure it was mentioned that in your 2nd attempt of 12th you have only one more chance for the next year of passing 12th….
But here 2019 brochure from nta in the QE section only 12th passing criteria is mentioned and also has no age limit which means you can appear for jee 2 times after passing board... and even for appearing in jee no board percentage criteria only for admission in nits and iits has 75% criteria in 5 subject taken together…. You can appear for jee advance 2 times in consecutive years…

Hope this helps.
Thank you and all the best.
Hello Neeharika, yes you are eligible for writing JEE mains in 2020. You can appear for JEE mains for 3 consecutive years. If you haven't given the exam a particular year, then also it will be counted because as one attempt. You need to qualify all subjects in your 12th board exams too.
