Yes, you can take a break after graduating class 12th and prepare for JEE-Main and Advance, but before you do, there are a few things you should know, so let's talk about them.

If you are in the General/Unreserved category, you must have a minimum aggregate of 75 percent in class 12th, and if you are in any of the reserved categories, you must have a minimum aggregate of 65 percent in class 12th.

Hello Himani,

Yes of course you can do do, you can take a drop after passing class 12th and can prepare for JEE-Main as well as Advance but before taking drop you should know some facts, so let us discuss those facts.

• In class 12th you should have minimum aggregate of 75% if you belongs to General/Unreserved category and 65% if you belongs to any of the reserved category and in your class 12th syllabus there should Physics and Mathematics as mandatory subjects with any one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology or Technical Vocational Subject. If not 75% then you should be in top 20 percentile of your board's result.
• If you are passing class 12th in 2021 then you will be only eligible for JEE-Main 2021, 2022 and 2023 and for JEE-Advance 2021 and 2022. Now in case you you take a drop for an year then also it won't affect the eligibility instead your attempt of 2021 will be subtracted from total attempts and al other attempts will remain same.
