Hello Aspirant,

See there is no percentage criteria to appear for JEE-Main for only this year but from next year if it will get implemented then it would be not possible for you to appear for JEE-Advance but yes you can definitely appear for JEE-Main 2022 because there is no such percentage criteria to appear for JEE-Main but yes you won't be eligible for admission in any of the NITs/IIITs/CFTIs due to less than 75% criteria and there are some criterion which you need to satisfy in order to appear for JEE-Main so let us discuss them.

1---   Age criteria   :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2---   Qualifying Examination   :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry as mandatory subjects from any of the recognized central or state board.

3---   Year of qualification   :- For JEE-Main 2022 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2020, 2021 or 2022; or those who will be appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2022, will also be eligible to appear.

So if you follow all above criterion then you are definitely eligible for JEE-Main.
