To appear for the JEE Mains exam, the only requirement is to have successfully completed the class 12 exam. However, in order to secure admission into NITs/IIITs/GFTIs, a minimum of 75% in PCM is mandatory.

Hello Akhil Mohanan. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query. 

Note that for writing JEE Mains, there is no restriction except that you must have passed class 12 exam. You get 100% or you get 41%, there is no difference.

But, for gaining admissions into NITs/IIITs/GFTIs, you need to have a minimum 75% in your PCM.
