Hello Aspirant,
See there is no percentage/passing criteria to appear for JEE-Main but for admission in NITs/IIITs/CFTIs, the minimum passing percentage is required which is 75% in usual and for 2021 it has been waived off due to pandemic, so for 2022 if you pass your class 12th then that would be your last attempt of JEE-Main as you had first appeared for class 12th in 2020. So the maximum attempts allowed are three for JEE-Main. Apart from the above criteria 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 and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with one of the Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/ Technical Vocational subject 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, would be eligible to appear.
So if you follow all above criterion then you are definitely eligible for JEE-Main.
