Hello,

Yes you are eligible to give Joint Entrance Examination Mains 2021 but if you belong to unreserved category then you will not be eligible for admissions in NITs or IITs as the eligibility criteria says that the minimum aggerate required for being eligible to get admissions in NITs and IITs is 75% for unreserved category and 65% for reserved category. NTA has released the JEE Main 2021 application form on Dec 16 in online mode.

To qualify for JEE Mains, there is no minimum aggregate criteria. But if you want to join NITs, IIITs or CFTIs then you should score a minimum aggregate of 75% only in your 12th. 11th marks aren't considered. And then to appear for JEE Advanced which is the gateway for admission to IITs, you will need to fulfill the 75% aggregate condition. Now it is 75% for General Category and 65% for Reserved Categories. So how much you score in 12th is what matters to secure your eligibility for NITs, IIITs, CFTIs and JEE Advanced.Candidates who have passed Class 12 or equivalent exam in 2019, 2020 or those who will appear in 2021 are eligible for JEE Main 2021.You can apply for JEE Mains at their official website: https://testservices.nic.in/examSys21/root/Home.aspx?enc=Ei4cajBkK1gZSfgr53ImFVj34FesvYg1WX45sPjGXBoodsCAPgItCPvwv6bGBGio .
