Hello,

As this year the 75% criteria is not applicable so you can surely give jee mains . But for jee advanced you need your clear the cut off of jee mains in your category.

So, if you are thinking of taking a drop so keep this mind that 75% criteria can be added to the eligibility criteria .

So, it's better if you have scored well in jee mains then take up a good NIT/IIITs through josaa and if you manage to get good marks in jee advanced then you can take admission in the IITs also. However certain conditions are considered like choices filled by the candidates, appearing of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs,toughness level of the examination.
