Hi

Which category do you belong to?

I am assuming you from general category.

No, you are not eligible for jee advanced examination.

This is because,

Minimum percentile in jee main to be eligible for jee advanced  2021 is 87.8992241 percentile for general category

Now,

You have got around 82 percentile i. e less than 87.8992241 percentile so you are definitely eligible for jee advanced examination.

For your reference,

Minimum percentile in jee main 2021 to qualify it to  be eligible for jee advanced 2021 is given below for different categories :-

--------) general :-87.8992241 percentile

--------) EWS:- 66.2214845 percentile

--------) OBC-NCL :- 68.0234447 percentile

--------) SC :- 46.8825338 percentile

--------) ST:- 34.6728999 percentile

--------) PH :- 0.0096375 percentile

In case,

If you belong to category other than general then only you are eligible for jee advanced

Irrespective of your percentile /rank in jee main, you can't get IIts.

This is because,

Admission in IITs is through jee advanced rank. So, if you are eligible, you jeed to apply for jee advanced, qualify it and then can get iits depending on your rank.
